Click here to log in Fishing for Trouble (For ages 5-9) Your beginner reader will enjoy this storybook-with-an-attitude starring Mulan's sidekicks, cranky Mushu and tiny Cri-Kee. Mushu's gone fishing but he doesn�t have a fishing pole or bait. Have your child read along and discover what -- or rather who! -- Mushu uses for bait! The hilarious ending is typical Mushu, and is sure to provide some laughs. Donald's Ducky Love Story (For ages 3-7) Donald Duck and his archenemy, Gladstone Gander, vie for Daisy's affections on ice in this Valentine�s Day-themed storybook. For every heartfelt (but botched!) offering that Donald makes to Daisy, Gladstone counters with a gesture that outdoes Donald by a landslide. However, through a silly twist of fate, our duck still gets the girl. Your child gets to interact with the classic characters by choosing the skating tricks Donald should try in this fun story, which helps improve reading skills.

PARENTS' TIPS FROM FAMILY.COM! Everybody will love munching on Crunchy the Snowman, an easy-to-make snack created from pretzels! Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. One at a time, dip one end of an 8-inch pretzel rod in the melted chocolate and use a plastic spoon or knife to spread the chocolate two thirds of the way down the rod. Set the pretzels on a sheet of waxed paper and press on mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons. Use orange decorator�s gel to add a carrot nose. When the chocolate has hardened, stand the pretzels in a mug or glass and tie on strips of fruit leather for scarves. To make hats, stretch a gummy ring over the narrow end of a gumdrop and secure it on the pretzel rod with a dab of melted chocolate. Disney's Blast makes learning child's play.
