I agree with the need for a grace period between bill and due date, and I think it should be 30 days. But the rest of those "reforms" seem pretty ridiculous and just aimed at hurting credit card company profit margins. Do you REALLY think that the companies will just take the hit and not recover the revenue elsewhere? Come on. Right now we have a pretty good system, where people who decide to leave balances on their credit cards pay the majority of the fees. The only thing that these "reforms" will do is spread the hit more evenly across everyone, including those who pay their balances off in full every single month.

Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book is one of my all-time favorites and when we finally had kids I remember telling my husband I was SO EXCITED that I'd get to read it to my children now. The other one I loved as a very young child was a Sesame Street book called "There's a Monster at the End of This Book" which featured Grover. I have NO IDEA what my first chapter book would be - I've just always loved reading, and can't even recall what it would have been.
