Mom's Family: 2009 Wall Calendar
There's nothing more useful for keeping track of busy families than this ingeniously formatted wall calendar that has the soul of a detail-obsessed planner. In a world of sheer busy-ness—soccer games and piano lessons, dentist appointments and PTA meetings, swim meets and Brownies, business dinners, school conferences, and more—this is the easiest way to see at a glance what everyone is doing, and when. The grid is blown up to a large vertical with columns across the top—one for Mom, one for Dad, three for the kids—and the days of the month read down the left-hand side. One look, and you can see it all. And then, of course, it's Boynton. The perfect artist for the perfect idea. The cows, the lions, the hippos, the chickens—ah, the chickens. The charm is irresistible. Even the busiest among us have time for a smile.

The enduring appeal of artist Thomas Kinkade makes this calendar a must-have for collectors. Thomas Kinkade's devoted fans will welcome the arrival of the Painter of Light calendar. Featuring 12 new images with stunning color reproduction, this calendar is sure to be a favorite. The calendar lists U.S. holidays as well as moon phases.

German Shorthaired Pointers: 2009 Wall Calendar
With tail and forepaw raised and its head extended forward, there is no mistaking the specialty of the German Shorthaired Pointer. Originally bred to work with hunters on foot, the dogs are as comfortable retrieving birds or mammals, in water or on land. They're happy poochies that love to exercise and have a very "everybody's buddy" attitude.
