By Mira Jacob, Shine staff | Holiday Guide – Fri, Nov 12, 2010 10:56 PM EST
I'm a book addict, and to some extent, a purist-the kind who flinches my son's books come with too many bells and whistles and directions. Why try to make a book better? Isn't the whole joy of reading the simplicity of it? So you can imagine my surprise when I ended up loving a new line of books called Record a Story.
As the label suggests, Record a Story lets parents (or grandparents, or even kids themselves) record their own voices reading books, resulting in a custom-recorded book. While that sounds pretty tame in our time of technology, it's actually just the right amount of genius. Kids can flip through books at their own pace, reading the story along with the narrator. Even better, it keeps them in touch with that voice telling them a story. While this might have seemed like a silly perk to me before I had a kid, now it seems like a truly inspired idea. With a husband who travels a lot and grandparents that live pretty far away, I can see just how much hearing the voice of

Six delicious books to give or get this holiday season
With the rise in popularity of electronic reading devices such as the iPad, Kindle, and Nook, putting together a list of the year's best cookbooks may seem like a genteel and antiquated pursuit. And yet, like many home cooks, we at Epicurious still make time to actually turn the pages of a new cookbook and make space in our homes to add noteworthy titles to our existing collections. These six books deserve to take up some countertop real estate, as they wowed us with their love of good food, their bold designs, and their intimate stories told through recipes. We hope these cookbooks will inspire you not only in the present but also in the future, in their inevitable electronic versions.

I love reading to my kids. In many other areas of parenthood - like birthday party goody bags and American Girl doll imaginative play - I'm a well-documented slacker. But give me a stack of good children's books and a couple of attentive little people? I could read all day.

If you've got kids on your holiday shopping list this year, you can't go wrong with a book. Unless of course, it's a book based off a television show.

Ditto for books by guys who play in the
