When last we met JJ, the canine star of JJ The American Street Dog, he was pulled from the streets and had happily found his forever home with 6-year-old Maya and her family. Maya learned all the rewards of adopting a street dog in need. In JJ Goes to Puppy Class, Maya starts to realize just how much responsibility any dog requires, as she sets about trying to train JJ to be a good puppy. The beauty of this book is it illustrates many of the common issues young children face when a new pet enters the home. It also shows how Maya handles them with aplomb and learns to fix the problems rather than whine about them.

Fun and cool, Dirtee Hollywood hails from sunny California where thinking is free and fashions are just slightly nutty in a ultra-cool way. The Donuts Dress is a confection that will win raves from tweens who breathe fuchsia and pink; it’s crafted from ninety-five percent polyester and five percent spandex so bye bye wrinkles and hello great fit. Donuts’ top ends in pink trim; the dress itself is covered with what else –– depictions of girls’ favorite sugary, round sweet. The Cupcake Dress is similarly styled with the top straps in gray or black and the body design featuring predominately pink and yellow cupcakes.

Eastern Iowa isn’t the place most people think of when they talk about the beach. Known for its thriving agricultural economy, rolling hills, and small but bustling city centers, this area of the Midwest is home to plenty of lakes but of course no white sandy beaches. It is, however, the birthplace of Packable Pails, a business that’s all about the sandbox and beach. Packable Pails may look like regular sand buckets at first glance, but they collapse down to a small, flat manageable package that can easily be taken along on all your adventures.

It’s a parent’s nightmare. Swim lessons are over and junior has already been crawling, or in some cases licking, the potentially staph-ridden pool floor and now it’s time for the showers. Thousands of kids before him have created a less than inviting scum itching to get under toenails. But flip flops present a bigger problem, creating slippery surfaces ripe for falling onto hard concrete. Even though Showaflops were created for an older student’s problem of having to use a dirty dorm shower, the idea is the same: Showaflops protect feet.

Playing outside in the sun is great, but rainy day fun has a charm all its own. Most kids have fond memories of days spent splashing through puddles, twirling umbrellas, and catching raindrops on their tongues. However, no matter how much fun playing in the puddles may be, the right gear is necessary. Butler Boot was founded to ensure that every puddle hop is a happy one. The company makes bold, bright rain boots that are easy and convenient to wear. Instead of the regular rain boot that’s worn in place of shoes, Butler draws on the design of traditional galoshes that fit over the shoe.

There’s very little funny about some of the cold winter temperatures around the world, but it’s all good in the hood if you have fun with your outwear. Rasta Imposta is the real deal when it comes to costumes and accessories for kids of all ages and their Ha Ha Hoodies are sure to get laughs from even the most embittered winter survivor. These zip-up hoodies are made to be warm and can be used as costumes or just conversation starters throughout the year. Your older customers will smile with nostalgia when they find out Rasta Imposta began over 20 years ago when Robert Berman created the Original Rasta Hat in the 90s.

On-trend but never off the good-taste chart, baby items from AD Sutton & Sons are proven winners. This fourth generation, family-owned business opened its doors in 1909, maintaining corporate headquarters in the heart of New York City’s fashion district. As time passed, the company began acquiring licenses to produce goods for many companies.

After some sun, who doesn’t want to take a refreshing dip and take in the underwater sights? Those using a traditional snorkel often end up disappointed with foggy goggles they have to continually clear, missing out on time beneath the surface. Out of the fog came a bright idea when Murray W. Scott decided to clear the way for the Snorkelboard. This personal body board is fully equipped with anti-fog goggles built right at the top of the board so riders of all ages can get a wider field of vision with no cloudiness. With bodacious buoyancy and sensational stability, the Snorkelboard is easy to paddle and doesn’t require lessons or advanced skills.

Some kids don’t want to participate in organized sports, they want to live on the edge. And for them there’s a whole world of adventure sports that can be set up right at home. Take for example, slacklining. GIBBON and Slackline Industries pioneered slacklining and continue to offer cutting-edge accessories. Skateboards and swings might seem more familiar to your customers, but classics have been tossed firmly into this century at Flexdex with lighted boards, and at Spring Swings with swings, ziplines and hang bars to encourage creative outdoor play. Help kids get fit in the most fun ways with new outdoor adventures.

A nursery often transforms over the baby’s early years as his or her unique tastes and preferences begin to emerge. Parents who had planned for a princess who loves pink may soon find out they have a tomboy who adores baseball, or vice versa. Whatever the case may be, moms and dads usually want to furnish their little ones’ rooms with all the necessities and flourishes that create a safe, attractive and mentally stimulating environment. KidKraft, Design Skin, Funny Friends, and Judith Raye all offer great products to make a room into a child’s personalized cozy kingdom.
