Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #1, cowabunga indeed

Let’s look at one of the most anticipated comics for us this year. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures is easily one of the best all age comics you can pick up any month. Contrast that with the fact that there really isn’t a consistent Batman comic book that’s great for young readers. Put the two franchises together for a 6-issue run where they have to work together and you have Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, a mini-series that kids 6 and older must pick up.

Rebellion of Thieves, twists up Sherwood for a new audience

Rebellion of Thieves manages to do what many properties with classic origins fail to do. It’s a tricky balancing act, trying to infuse the lineage that generations of people know with a contemporary-or future tale that can stand on its own. Kekla Magoon, author of Rebellion of Thieves, a Robyn Hoodlum Adventure has created the unicorn of middle school books that will appeal almost equally to boys, as well as girls.

Paint By Sticker Masterpieces, small stickers add up to big art

We received a couple of books recently that are in a class to themselves. One of these books is Paint By Sticker Masterpieces; it’s the next level up from Paint By Stickers For Kids that our oldest son completed. Paint by Sticker Masterpieces is an intricate, detail rich way for advanced puzzle kids and adults to create unique works of art, in a cubist, rough animated manner.

Star Wars, Poster-A-Page: Creatures, Ships and Droids

Our kids are in the Star Wars sweet spot. (Note: I may use that phrase for the next 20 years) No, really, they both are in love with the idea and the fantasy that these classic characters bring alive. Star Wars, Creatures, Ships & Droids, a poster-a-page book is as simple, direct and enjoyable as a book can be to a kid who is between 6 and 11.

Two can’t-miss documentaries on Netflix, for different reasons. #StreamTeam

We’re part of the Stream Team for Netflix and were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. My wife and I binge watch. We’ll find a show that both of us agree on and watch every episode. It’s the TV equivalent of a box of doughnuts. As a way to shake things up I took a moment to scroll through categories that are rarely visited from us and found two incredible films. Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made and Chuck Norris vs. Communism. Both are documentaries on Netflix, but are engaging enough to cast a wide net of entertainment that’ll grip anyone with memories of the 80’s.

You don’t have to be a kid or speak French to enjoy French Playground

Kindie and children’s music are fascinating subcultures. To distant observers they’re the same, yet once you dig into them they’re quite different, just like children. French Playground is a compilation of French and Quebec music that blends both worlds of kindie and children’s music into its own creation that almost defies categorization.

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card. What color should you paint the kitchen or how should you design that room? If only there was an expert source that could tell you all of possibilities, as well as, the pros and cons about doing something a certain way. The Best Buy Free In-Home Consultation is just that, an expert in all manner of technology and trends comes out to your house and lets you know the options that exist for your house.

Horror Pack delivers 4 Blu-ray gore to your door each month

We received this for review purposes. Any scares, lack of sleep or visions of terror are all ours. Horror films aren’t just something that folks appreciate in October. Horror Pack is a company that understands that and has the sole focus of providing them with horror films every month. Each month they ship out four different, new Blu-ray DVDs to people who the scares, monsters, evil and gore that a good horror film can be. Horror Pack is obviously something that is only OK for those over 18, unless you’re a footloose teen into one of those slasher films the kids like.
