Book & DVD Suggestions for parents and kids?

I just attended my first Mama and Papa's group in SF and really enjoyed it.
I would like to suggest a new topic for the blog - Titles of Books and DVD
for Parents and Kids

We were all sharing books, dvd's for parenting and education of our
children and we all discussed how helpful this would be for us. It
would be great to open up this discussion as to what people would
suggest we watch.

Two of my favorite childrens dvds are "Happy to Be Nappy and Other Stories of Me" and the classic "Free to Be You and Me". Also, the Magic School Bus series is pretty fabulous, and WordGirl, presently on PBS and youtube, is an amazing cartoon.

As for books, I am in awe of how many fabulous childrens books are out there these days. From _All the Colors of the Earth_ and _The Skin I'm In_ to _Amazing Grace_ and _I Look Like a Girl_ to _Big Momma Makes the World_ and _Earth Mother_ to _Crossing Bok Chitto_ and _As Good as Anybody_ to _King and King_ and _Molly's Family_ and beyond, there are so many beautifully illustrated, informative tools for parent/child learning and conversation that it can be a bit overwhelming.
