Children's Literary Agent/Publisher Spotlights

I only started trying to write in Feb. so I am relatively new to this agent/publisher thing, but in my limited experience, there just aren't enough agent features out there.  I would love to feature as many children's agents as possible (PB through YA), to give newbies like me a little help in deciding which agents are a good fit.

If you know of any  agents that would like a little more web exposure, send them my way.  I would love to feature them too.

For any agents/publishers out there, you can fill out the form here to be a part of my guide -

Pediped - Flex Sahara Shoes Review

I love cute little baby feet, but I don't like necessarily finding shoes to fit those feet.  With my kids at least, it seems like they had a lot of pudge in all the wrong places.  I couldn't usually get a pair of shoes on at all.  If and when I could get shoes on their feet, they didn't stay.

I've had luck with Pediped shoes in the past, so I was really excited when they asked me to review a pair of little boys shoes.  We got the Flex Sahara sandals in the mail, and I was so excited to try them out.

Co has always been a bit chubby, and when I find shoes wide enough to fit his ankles they just fall off.   I did not have that problem with these shoes.






They have a velcro strap which makes them easy to put on, but it also closes tight for stay puted-ness.

They also feature a tough rubber sole that stretches around the toe.  Let's face it, kids are kids, and can be a little rough on shoes. The extra rubber protects their little toes and makes the shoes last longer.



 Another great feature of these shoes is that they are machine washable and water safe.  Co wore them on the wet grass and then covered them in sand.  I washed them off in the sink, and they dried completely fine.  The water didn't affect the look or comfort of the shoe at all.





My very favorite thing about these shoes is that they don't just fall off at random times.  Co has taken them off a few times, but they stay in place during play time.

To Buy - The Flex Sahara - Blue shoes retail for $49, and can be purchased at pediped.com.  They are definitely a great buy for any little man in your life.
