I was referring to the original post being an advertisement in an
informal, friendly tone, not the person who asked for help.

Check the camping section. They sell lanterns that run off those big square
batteries. They do not break easily, are plastic if they do, and don't get
very hot. I let my toddlers have one to themselves when we set their tent
up. They have handles like any lantern so I imagine you could figure out a
way to hang it from a hook off the bed, wall, or even from the ceiling
(although it might get swung around a lot then).

I'm having great luck with a book light -- the kind that clip right on
the book. It doesn't get hot, it gives enough light to read, and it
keeps the light from disturbing DH. (I sometimes have trouble sleeping,
and find that if I read a little it helps me settle down and go back to
sleep, but a light on disturbs DH's sleep.) Mine is just battery
operated, though I know some can be plugged in. So far, the batteries
have lasted through a LOT of late night reading since Christmas.

I remember seeing versions of the Itty Bitty Book Light specifially
built for young children; you might check at a big book store -- a
Barnes and Noble, or Bourders, for example.

"What is this whole Tom Pants fiasco all about? Please explain."

I would hardly call it a "fiasco", im surprised none of you have ever
heard of Tom Pants which would explain the poetic, however derogatory
remark:

"Troll. Ignore it and the troll will leave"

But anyway, back to the subject at hand. These Tom Pants, and all the
other lesser known products they make, such as the lamps and such, are
a fairly new thing in the children's industry. The best word to
describe them really is ingenious and sophisticated all rolled into one
great package. notice i said package, not baggage, because then we
would be talking about a whole other thing now wouldnt we? As i was
saying, you might want to check out the Tom Pants home page:

Of course, not all people admire the beaty and perseverance the Tom
Pants label has gone through. For instance, my sister thinks there is
something hideously wrong with them. I've caught her many times trying
to dissuade people from them. If you feel similarly, id like to know
since my sister doesnt much like talking about the subject. Anyway, i
would highly recommend Tom Pants and any of their products.

How have you never heard of Tom Pants???? They are sweeping the nation
and ever-growing in popularity. I often see poems and songs about
them. They help pronounce your baggage in an enjoyable way. They are
festive for any season. If you don't have Tom Pants you are definatel
missing out on the opportunity that will thoroughly change your life
and make you feel all tingly inside. They are hated by the people who
think that reading is fun and other things. I am not being facetious.
On the troll note, I find that highly offensive. Comparing Tom Pants
to a troll is sick and wrong, Tom Pants are a wonderful thing that we
need to cherish and love forever, or else we may lose our proboscis'.

how dare you uncover the truth! never shall ye obtain the hook! contact
master chef at if you wish to know the truth

I didn't uncover the truth, they still don't know how to obtain the Tom
Pants which are being overcoded for more pronouncing of baggage as we
speak.

How about an LED flashlight? They don't get hot, the LED bulbs don't
break easily, and they have low power requirements, so the batteries last
a lot longer than a regular flashlight.
