Weird & Wild Animal Facts combines great images and short information

Weird & Wild Animal Facts by Jessica Loy has a very non-descript title. It sounds like a book that you might’ve seen before and forgotten about. However, Weird & Wild Animal Facts is a very solid book that’s engaging, entertaining and educational for kids of all ages. Any age will enjoy the book because of its pictures and multi-colored pages. However, the vocabulary is aimed at grades 4 and below; and while older kids will like the book they might crave something deeper.

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are our own and this really sound like a block building, tree chopping good time. As a dad and casual gamer there is a lot to love about that headline. I know that when our kids are older they’ll be into video games and most likely Minecraft. Super League Gaming has partnered with the nation’s three largest movie theater chains, Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Theaters and Cinemark Theaters to a screen that’s much bigger than your computer-or even your television!

A look at the all age toys for Jurassic World

The other day at the gym when I was picking Jake up from their daycare the worker asked me if he had seen Jurassic World. He was wearing a Jurassic Park t-shirt and had told some kids that he’d seen the new movie. For the record he hasn’t see it and Jurassic World is a hard PG-13. However, the toys for Jurassic World are awesome for all ages. They have a variety of dinosaurs and action vehicles that are detailed enough for kids 5 and up, but have big enough features for those that are 3 or older. We were sent the Playskool Heroes Jurassic World Dino Tracker Helicopter to review and here are our thoughts.

Archie #1 reboots the franchise for today’s teens #LipstickIncident

Archie, Jughead, Riverdale and the Betty or Veronica discussion has been going on since 1941. However, the art for Archie hasn’t changed much since I was a teen in the early 80’s. The stories changed, there was a (gay) wedding, Archie got killed and technology entered the picture, but the art always remained the same. That has completely changed with Archie #1, a complete reboot for one of the longest, continually published comic books on the market.

Mutant Planet, Season Two is why you have a large television

We have a reasonably big television. Well, it’s 37” and fits in the space that we wanted it. It’s big enough for most of the things that we watch, but it’s when we see things like Mutant Planet that I wish we had a bigger one. Mutant Planet, Season Two just came out on DVD and we were sent a copy, most likely to water my television envy and direct me towards purchasing a new one.

The new all age comic books for Wednesday, July 8, 2015

It’s the middle of summer and a good week to get inside and dig the new all age comic books this week. There are some nice graphic novels out, a couple go-to single issues and one of the biggest character revamps to his the all age market in generations.

Kids will love Scooby Doo Where Are You? #59, it’s always a safe bet. Spongebob Comics #46 is one that our oldest son loves and it’s easy to see why. It has several short stories, all of which have different styles of art, the characters are big, funny and they all already have a place in his mind. Guardians of the Galaxy Digest is an all ages look at our favorite superhero team. This series is funny, action packed and A-OK for kids of any age.

The biggest change comes for Riverdale’s own Archie. Archie #1 comes out with brand new artwork. Sure the stories in Archie the past couple of years have reflected contemporary themes, but the art has remained the same. That all changes with this issue.

The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.
