Hot Potato

They may not eat the yams on their dinner plates, but we're sure your kids will love Francine Prose's new tale Rhino, Rhino, Sweet Potato. Roy is a little boy growing up in a village where they eat nothing but sweet potatoes, until a rowdy herd of rhinos invades in search of some 'taters of their own. Roy must convince his neighbors to find a peaceful solution and live in harmony with the animals. Charming illustrations and a message of bravery and compassion will make this book a bedtime favorite.
$14, Amazon.

Kitchen Find: Jonathan Adler Towels

We're loving Jonathan Adler's new line of bright, graphic tea towels. Evocative of midcentury textiles, they will instantly perk up an otherwise dull kitchen, and prices like these make them go-to hostess gifts. $12, Jonathan Adler.

Chicken Little

This tulip onesie from Pink Chicken is perfect boho-baby attire in the warmer months. In fact, the whole adorable collection was inspired by summers that designer Stacey Lavalle Fraser spends with her daughters in the surf town of Montauk, New York.  Also available are matching rompers, dresses, and bloomers. $32, Pink Chicken.

To Market, to Market

We're longtime fans of Built, and love their clever new take on the traditional crochet produce bag—re-created in indestructible neoprene. Sure, it looks totally chic, but even better, its stretchy form means you can really load up on the freshest finds at the farmers' market. $40, Built.

Garp Who?

The World According to Your Child turns your little one's drawings and ideas into a professionally typeset hardcover book. He'll delight in seeing his name and his work in print, you'll cherish the time capsule of his shaky handwriting and musings on becoming a fireman when he grows up. The kit comes with color markers, drawing sheets, and instructions on returning the materials for publishing; you'll get the final result just three weeks later. $30, I See Me.

Caped Crusaders

We're all for encouraging kids' personal style, but we're not always thrilled when they insist on leaving the house in full costume. Enter Little Capers, a line of superhero shirts that come with shimmery detachable capes. They'll feel like the little superheroes they are, and you'll feel better knowing that cape can come off at any moment. More power to 'em! $38, Little Capers.

In fact, it's simple enough for older siblings (ages 8 and up) to get in on the fun.
