Wallace & Gromit: The Complete Newspaper Strips Vol. 3 review

I was relieved when both of our children let me know, in their own unique way that they liked Wallace & Gromit.  Wallace & Gromit is our DVD comfort food.  Whenever the streaming is slow or our kids need a treat we’ll put in one of their shorts or movies so that we all can chill.  As we live on this side of the pond we only recently discovered that they have a daily comic strip too.  Titan Comics compiles these daily comic strips and the third volume has just been released.

Kid catch phrases, spring 2105: the danger hole

Kids say cute things all the time. A couple years ago it was the very cryptic “fi fi outside”.  For a while my wife and I thought that “fi fi outside” was one of the neighbors walking their dog. To the adult mind that makes sense but makes you question your neighbors who would have the faux Parisian gall to name their dog ‘fi fi’. By the end of that spring we realized that he was saying “leaf outside”, which still makes sense because of the ‘-af’ sound that they hear last.  This spring has created a new catchphrase, one that’s replete with soundtrack memories of Kenny Loggins.

My Little Pony: Fiendship is Magic #2 review

My Little Pony has a couple of titles in their lineup and our 5 year old likes them. We highlight them on the list of new all age comic books and this month they’ve got an event that’ll introduce many new fans to the dark side of Equestria. Our experience with the ponies in Equestria is limited, so to know that there are so many villains in the series encourages us for future issues.

Bugs and insects got the memo on Orkin #LearnWithOrkin #ad

This is a sponsored post.  All thoughts are our own and the stories are true, even the ones involving bugs. We sat in on an Orkin presentation and learned about bugs.  As it was with Orkin, the bugs were of the noun variety instead of the adjectival kind, but we’re familiar with both kinds…unfortunately.

Home is where you want to be instead of watching this film

On a rainy day we went to the movies to see Home.  Home is the animated story of Oh, an alien whose species invades Earth. The species, the Boov, move all of the humans to special districts where they have live and where you wish you could go about midway through the film.

Home, the review, is where you want to be instead of watching this film

Sleepless Knight is a classic young reader (comic) book

Sleepless Knight is the kind of book that I would’ve devoured when I was a young reader. I grew up reading Peanuts, comic books, Calvin and Hobbes, grown up books without illustrations and then started over again. Most of the text and illustrations in Sleepless Knight can be read by some children 6 and up and certainly 7 and up.

Rhymoceros, as cute as it sounds for toddlers learning words

Rhymoceros is a thick book.  It’s a big board book with 16 images of a rhinoceros. To be clear, it’s the same 16 pictures of the rhinoceros doing some very silly things. In some he’s holding a balloon while on the page directly opposite that he’s standing in front of the moon. This is a rhyming book for the small ones that is sweet, creative and just slightly goofy.
