The Midnight Ball: [the beautiful math series]
Written and illustrated by Sara Barkat

When little Song receives a last-minute invitation to a midnight ball, she leaves immediately, hoping to arrive on time to the castle. But her journey is long, and she meets many friendly animals on the way. They enjoy fields and forests, sunlight and moonlight, and quiet moments of wonder. In a beautiful story of new friends and sweet generosity, little Song takes readers on a time-telling adventure from noon to midnight.

Predictable text plus alliteration in key portions of the tale make this a seamless “learning” bedtime story or classroom read aloud—the story can also serve as an early reader that a child can grow with to build literacy skills.

Electric Baby Nail Trimmer

Like so many parents, we were terrified of cutting our baby’s nails. Their fingers and toes are so tiny, and it’s easy to accidentally nip them when using sharp scissors or nail clippers. So we created an electric nail trimmer that is safe and gentle on baby’s tiny fingers and toes.

The Cherish Baby Care electric nail trimmer is the perfect solution to safely trimming your little one’s nails. The baby nail trimmer allows you to gently file your babies finger and toe nails. With 4 filing disks, a 2 speed filer, and convenient storage case, you’ll be fully prepared to trim and buff your baby’s nails in no time. The filing pads are color coded according to the age of your child. Pink is for 0-3 months, blue is 3-6 months, yellow is 6-12 months, and orange is for 12+ months. Replacement pads are available for purchase. The trimmer comes with a durable plastic cary case and takes 1 AA battery (not included). You’ll cherish these little moments as you file their nails down to prevent them from scratching themselves.
