Children's book reviews, all age comic books, Kidlit, mglit, movies, entertainment and parenting
Based on a You Tube sensation. Not long ago that phrase and ‘movies that are produced by toy companies’ would’ve produced groans from me. However, it’s a brave new world and entertainment born on one platform can easily cross over to another. Proof of that is Tiny Hamster is a Giant Monster.

Depending on your child The Alphabet of Bugs is a great teaching book about the alphabet or a book that they’ll pretend to be scared of, but secretly will love looking at the vivid bugs while learning the alphabet. Each page has a very large alphabet letter on the left hand side with a full color photograph of an exotic bug on the right. It’s a book that will encourage curiosity with the bugs while teaching them their letters too.

Summer road trips. That is why today is a great day to visit the comic book store to dig into the all age comic books. The kids are in the back seat, you can get a couple new reads to surprise them, plus there may even be some comics leftover from Free Comic Book Day. You’re in luck because this is a great week to jump into some new comics for any age.
Age of Reptiles is great for 10+. It’s all art, but some of the illustrations are dinosaur violence, if your child is OK with nature, predatory type things then buy this. The art is simply some of the prettiest that I’ve seen in any comic this year.
Bat Mite #2 and Bizarro #2 come out this week, they’re the mini-series from DC Comics that are about each character’s adventures. Mickey Mouse #2 comes out, as does My Little Pony: Friends Forever. Our oldest son asks about MLP all the time, he’ll be stoked that it comes out.

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and rest assured, we really, really like to eat. “I liked the castle Denny’s daddy”, our oldest said as we drove away. Well, to be fair, it was constructed with lots of big logs, rocks and we drove over a lake (which he could’ve thought was a mote), so in the eyes of a five year old it could look like a castle. Castle setting aside there was no sense of Doom, we were there to eat, learn about the new Fantastic 4 menu items and tell you about how you and a buddy can win a trip to the world premiere of the film.

A good sleeper movie is a great thing to discover. It’s the film that went in and out of the theater relative quickly and for one reason or another never built up too much buzz. Your expectations are low to non-existent about the film. It’s all the more surprising when after the film, even when not grading it on a sleeper scale that it stands on its own and is wholly enjoyable on many levels. Danny Collins is a sleeper of a film that’s difficult to categorize, but is refreshing to watch and one that adults who are tired of the predictable will enjoy more than they think they will.

Yes, it really has been 17 years since Young Hercules was on television. It aired on the Fox Kid’s Network from 1998 to 1999, starred a young Ryan Gossling and was Executive Produced by Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert and was nominated for three Daytime Emmy Awards. The entire series is out on DVD now and it has aged great, the humor is intact and its packed with action that is accessible to children aged 5 and up.

Kids and nature go together like hand and glove. Our kids love going there for no reason at all. They’ve got a lake where dozens of turtles lounge on the fallen trees on a summer’s day and dozens of other critters in natural settings that the kids love learning about. Normally it’s status quo and a good place to pass time. However, now Chattahoochee Nature Center has an exhibit, Butterfly Encounter that will absolutely leave you breathless.
