My husband bought me #7 on a trip, and I wanted to add more to my window sill but we had no idea aside from the artist's name Jen E - now I know where to find them. Thanks for this post!!

The Zipes book was the first thing I thought of with this post, and Petronella is also my favorite.

I'm a big fan of apple and rhubarb, and I think rhubarb is also good on its own. I tend to do each in a crumble (fruit layers with sugar, with non-oat crumb on top). Apple to Rhubarb ratio of maybe 2:1.

My experience is not recent (10 years ago) but may be relevant. While in high school I was the babysitter to a small child whose mother taught college French. I went along on a 10 day winter break trip my first year of college so that the child could go with her and her students.

He was about 2 1/2 at the time. We used a stroller - even on and off the metro (one of us in front and one at rear carrying it up and down the stairs) - because some parts of the day was just the child and I, versus days where we went with the students or just he and his mother. I found it relatively simple with the stroller, but he would have been a bit big for me to have in a backpack carrier for lengths of time. I remember people were generally understanding about having a stroller around. At the Louvre entrance we got to use the really fancy elevator that descends in the middle of the staircase.

I actually got stopped a few times for directions, I guess they figured if you're pushing a stroller you must know the neighborhood.

Hope this helps!

I've been on the look out for a good next audiobook for the car, so this is well-timed.

I recently finished listening to Ready Player One read by Wil Wheaton. I listened to it only in the car, and so occasionally I would arrive home and sit in the car an additional 20 minutes to continue listening (longer than my commute of 15 minutes). It is well-written and well-read.
