We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. I hadn’t seen my next door neighbor for months and the place that I run into him is Kohl’s. It’s not that Kohl’s serves bacon when you enter or has secret places for guys to hide when their better halves are shopping. If you go to the store it’s conveniently laid out, is all on one level and has clearance racks (for the frugal minded dads) out the wazoo, just in time for Father’s Day.

Imagine for a moment that Jurassic Park had never been made and the cultural impact that it created did not exist. If that were the case then Jurassic World and its plot would air just after Sharknado. Two lost teens (whose parents are getting divorced!), mutant dinosaurs, a dino trainer, kids in danger, hungry animals and more make up Jurassic World. It’s rated PG-13 and some movies with this rating are A-OK for tweens and young teens, but is Jurassic World OK for children?

I have partnered with Life of Dad and Milk Life for this promotion. I received compensation for my participation, but my mojo for Milk isn’t just due to that stylish white stache I got. June is a great month for milk. Not only is it National Dairy Month, but The Great American Milk Drive is happening this month. That’s a lot of potentially cheese activities happening, but it’s all for a great cause and here’s how you can support it, with a contest a la Thunderdome and a gaggle of guy bloggers.

We asked our oldest if he wanted to earn some money taking care of a friend’s animals while they were away. It would involve shoveling out the dog poop form their walk-in outdoor kennel and putting the cat inside every night. He jumped like a rabbit and couldn’t wait to get started. For a month he’s wanted a Spider-Man night light and we explained to him that with this money he could get that and still have $30 leftover.

The Whale in my Swimming Pool is effectively named and cuts to the chase on the third page. A young boy is eager to hop into the swimming pool but finds that there is a whale already in it. It’s one of those round, plastic pools, so of course the whale takes up more than three times the size of the pool. From here the book really cooks and is clever, imaginative and so very simple that it’ll leave even the most frustrated child with a smile.

This is a sponsored post from Lunchbox and we were compensated for it. All thoughts are from our good smelling own self. Father’s Day sneaks up on you doesn’t it? It’s the early part of summer, school just got out and for the most part; dads don’t tell people what they want. Having said that it’s Father’s Day and you know that dads everywhere will get gifts, some will be effective while others might end up in the donation pile next week. This year, show dads that you care by getting him something that can really use.

The new all age comic books this week offer something for every reader. It’s a huge week if you like titles that appeal to girls, boys, cartoons, classics or new stories that appeal to anyone. If you like Adventure Time you’ve got three options to choose from, a big Archie book, the start of Clarence and the final Mouse Guard Legends of the Guard. The Adventures of Aero-Girl also look really good with big, playful art and a story that has enough action and movement for anyone.
We’re really looking forward to Ghostbusters Get Real. The other week at MomoCon I met Erik Burnham who has handled stories for Galaxy Quest, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Johnny Bravo and many more all age comic books. He told me about a con that he went to recently and a fan told him about how they read comics to their child before bedtime. It was fast becoming this parent’s favorite time in their bedtime ritual because they could see how much fun the child was having.
That’s only one way that parents can use all age comic books. If your child is old enough to read then they’ll enjoy following the story at their own pace and there is an comic book for any child. Most stores will have an all ages section and the staff will certainly help you find the all age comic books because they want to sell them and it supports their future client base.
Here’s the list of all the new comics this week. The links will save you 10% over at TFAW, but if you want them today, just pop out to your local store.
