Oscar the Pig

by

I know that most of you homeschool but at some point I’m sure you have had to leave your children in the care of someone else while they wrangled and groped at your leg with wails and tears.  As a daycare owner, I think I’ve seen kids pull out all the stunts. 

The blogosphere as been very good to me by the way of introducing me to great people.  One of those people is Megan Calhoun.  Megan is a very successful woman, she is the brains behind TwitterMoms and if you aren’t a member there yet, you should definitely go check out all the women (and men) who are enjoying the site. 

Now, Megan can add author of Oscar the Pig to her repertoire.  Oscar the Pig can be found on Amazon or at OscarthePig.com  Her book was produced by Silly String Media and as the name implies, they do work for the silly at heart.

Oscar the Pig has to have a sitter because his mommy has to go to work and he is not very happy about it at first.  His sitter, as sit turns out has an awesome imagination and teaches Oscar the fun in meeting new people and learning new things. 

If you get a chance and need to help a child through that all important stage of separation anxiety, by all means, get this book.  Megan really does a a great job.  And, look at this cover, how can you resist this?
