We have been showcasing some outstanding books, music, and DVDs on Punnybop recently that would make fun and inexpensive holiday gifts. We also have a truly exceptional giveaway going on right now.

When we first decided to include a kids' media blog as a part of our planned blog network, it was because we recognized that there was a lot of great stuff that got lost in the shuffle on Z Recommends, and that most of it was kids' media in one form or another. What we've found since we launched Punnybop is that blending reviews of books, music, DVDs, and games with video clips and discussions of classic shows for kids and contemporary "grownup" fare that suits them is a fun and energizing mix.
