Humans of New York is the very popular blog that spawned the book which shares the same name. They both feature photos of people in New York City doing various things and includes short descriptions of the people or fascinating conversations. The blog is difficult to turn away from. You could scroll down for ages and not get tired. Little Humans is an extension of HONY, but done exclusively with children.

Children’s music can send shudders up the spine of people. It’s too sleepy, dopey, boring or just too much childlike to interest the children, much less the adults who are driving the car. I am a children’s music novice, but I’m learning that there is some fabulous music out there for children and the adults who will be around them when said music is on. Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke is a great example of children’s music that kids will want to listen to and that adults will (really) enjoy listening to as well.

This is the second issue of four in Jim Henson’s The StoryTeller Witches. The first one was great and I was skeptical if the second could continue the journey. It does. The StoryTeller Witches are four standalone tales of witches that are in the same vein as The StoryTeller series back in the late 80’s. Back then it was a TV show, now it’s a comic book mini-series.

The Force is strong with this giveaway. Fans that saw Star Wars in movie theaters back in the day were thrown for a loop when they announced that a cartoon would be made. Dismay, anger and puzzlement ensued. However, we saw Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion and were incredibly surprised at how good it was. Put the light sabers away, this movie and this show does the classic story justice and will entertain all ages.

Our criteria for a great good-night book are that it should be short enough to read a couple of times and have great illustrations. If it has rhyming words in it then it’s bonus. The Monsterator by Keith Graves meets all of those and more. It was immediately enjoyed by everyone in the house for several reasons.

Millennia from now when people dig up entertainment time capsules from the 90’s they might, depending on the size of the capsule, find the complete series of CatDog in there. CatDog aired on Nickelodeon from 1998-2005 and has that look of Ren and Stimpy without being as crude, for better or worse. It’s the tell-tale animation that looks distinctive, rough and usually has characters with lots of moxie.
