BOOKS WE LOVE
We Are in a Book! 
by Mo Willems

Join Elephant and Piggie in a delightful tale as they discover that they are actually in a book--and all the wonderful possibilities that gives them. This is a great read-aloud for ages 4 through 8.
Bunnicula 
by Deborah and James Howe

On a dark and stormy night, the Monroe family brings home an unexpected new pet. For Harold the dog and Chester the cat, this new addition to the family brings all sorts of problems. Especially because they think Bunnicula is actually...a vampire. A fun, engaging mystery for ages 8 and up.


What's the deal with Poppers?
  As 4th of July approaches, it has come to our attention that we can no longer carry poppers or "bang snaps"  in our stores as they fall under the definition of fireworks. It is illegal to explode, possess or sell poppers and you can be ticketed for doing so. We wanted to make sure to pass the new information along to our customers and we hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July!

ALL ABOUT ASTRA
Greetings!


I have been to many buying trade shows since NYC Toy Fair before opening day in 1977, but ASTRA (American Specialty Toy Retailers Association) Marketplace 2013 was one of the best. We collectively seemed to be crawling out of the downturn malaise and there is fresh energy, some great new products and abundant support and camaraderie.
This year I decided to make buying shows and trade conventions a group event, sharing the experience, training and fun with some of our managers. It was a wildly successful time at  ASTRA Marketplace in Nashville this year ....complete with line dancing and music everywhere in the land of the Grand Ole Opry!  I love being in the specialty toy industry and am excited to share what we learned and the new great toys we found. Thanks for allowing Grandrabbit's into the heart of our great community!

THESE GREAT PRODUCTS ARE ON THE WAY TO OUR SHELVES
Squigz- Fun Little Suckers

Squigz by Fat Brain Toys are aptly described as "fun little suckers," and they are just that. These sensory, rubbery connectors can entertain tiny hands, promote focus, provide sensory stimulation and pop when pulled apart. Great for all kids, but especially those whose hands need to be kept busy!

Monkeez-
Makes a Difference
Welcome to MonkeezMakes a Difference, a first-of-its-kind, fun, and interactive experience that teaches children the importance of helping others in need.
MonkeezMakes a Difference teaches kids that by thinking of others they can make a big difference. In partnership with Genuine Monkeez and Friends, Monkeez Makes a Difference provides a rewarding experience for children through secure online games, "DoGood"challenges, and empowers children to understand organizations that make a difference on a local, national, and global level.
The program gives children the opportunity to select one of three partnering charities to direct Monkeez
Makes a Difference donations made on their behalf. It's child's play that instills philanthropic values to last a lifetime!

Lottie Dolls- Be Bold, Be Brave, Be You

Lottie has been based on the scientific proportions of a 9 year old child with the exception of her head (which has been increased to accommodate hair play). She does not wear jewelery, makeup, high heels or have tattoos. She can stand on her own two feet. Her clothes are vibrant in color and have significant attention to detail. Lottie's clothes are very much activity based, in line with those of a 9 year old instead of an adult. She also wears pretty 'girly' dresses, as well as hardwearing clothes for muddy, outdoors play. Lottie allows girls to be girls and enjoy their childhood, in all its facets.
NogginStik

The NogginStik developmental light-up rattle is baby's first learning toy.  It might look like a cute version of a baby rattle, but it has a powerful agenda.  The NogginStik was designed to help parents, caregivers and early intervention therapists begin encouraging early milestones in infants.
Key elements of the NogginStik are:
  • Captures children's focus and increases attention
  • Assists with the development of visual tracking--a critical pre-literacy skill
  • Provides tactile interest to touch and visual interest to look at
  • Helps children auditorily locate the sound
  • Enhances grasping and holding skills
