I recently received a book called 'Made Here Baby" .  This book is packed full of great information on companies that sell American products for children.  The topics include everything from infant items to toys, furniture and much more.  This book includes almost everything you would buy for a child.   We have come to a point in this country where we can't trust everything that is sold out there for our kids.  We have had so many recalls and dangerous things out there being sold, it truly can be scary!  This book wants to tell you about companies that are known to be safe and well-made.  The book also contains companies that are family run, companies that are owned by women and moms and companies that care about the enviroment!   

I loved looking through this book.  There were so many companies out there that I didn't know about.  They include websites, addresses, and phone numbers.  Everything is in categories so it is easy to find who sells clothes, toys, and all the other topics it covers.  I enjoyed the beginning of each chapter that included personal stories and factual information on safety and more.  This is one of those books that every parent should have on their bookshelf so they can always have the best stores available to them to buy for their kids. 

After all the recalls of Chinese-imported toys containing dangerous chemicals, parents want to know where to get products they know will be safe because they have American manufacturing standards. Plus, in the current recession more and more people are looking to support their local businesses.

Author, product developer, and proud uncle and godfather Bruce Wolk tracked down over 400 U.S. companies that produce amazing children’s products from infant moccasins from Minnesota to cribs handmade in Memphis, sustainably-built wooden sleds from Colorado to Cotton Monster’s unique plush animals in Seattle. In addition to basic company information and interesting facts, he includes notes on eco-friendly companies, family businesses, and ones that make products for children with special needs, so every parent is sure to find a product that meets their home’s needs.

Thanks to the FRN and Made Here Baby for this opportunity!
