The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter get’s it going, #ad

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are our own. We have a family friend who just went off to college. Aside from making me feel old at dirt I was amazed at the fact that they were going to college without a car. Color me surprised to find out that many college age students (and older) don’t think twice about not having a car. Part of that reason is due to the popularity of people using scooters as a supplemental mode of transportation. Color me even more surprised to find out that scooters are priced to, pardon the pun, move. Parents, the annoying scooters at busy intersection do not need to be your student’s de facto way home. Students, you can own a scooter that’s 100% owned by you and not some other yee haw who walks the same way home. Case in point is the Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter that you can purchase from Best Buy.

The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter checks off every imaginable want, need or concern for people who need a ride around campus or the neighborhood; as well as, those older people who are concerned about safety.

For those taking the Hover-1 around campus this scooter can make a round trip journey at an 8-mile school. You don’t have to be Eminem to realize that’s a long way to travel 16 miles without needing to re-charge your wheels.

 The Hover-1 Electric Scooter is a personal mode of  transportation that is affordable, yours and utterly unique.

As I go back in the time machine I think to my college campus and there were paths galore and hills aplenty. This scooter could easily get through all of those areas and do so in a quicker and cooler way than my bike back then. The bike I had then weighed about 40 bulky pounds. If I had a flat or otherwise couldn’t ride it home I’d be at the mercy of my friends with a truck.

The Hover-1 folds up within seconds and weighing in at 27 pounds can easily be transported by most people to their dorm, apartment, class or the three steps up to the first floor. This is a light, portable form of short-range transportation that you can own and your friends will be jealous of.

If you’re late for something the Hover-1 has enough get-up-and-go to move you there poste haste. It can move at 14 MPH and that’ll get you across campus or down the street quicker than you can say “What do you mean I have to pay my own phone bill?”

It also brakes with ease because it has electronic and foot brakes. Parents, this one is for you so that you don’t worry about your distracted young adult who is looking at cute coeds. Students, two methods of brakes mean that you are much less likely to take that unfortunate tumble in the corner when the leaves are wet. This is a win-win situation.

The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter can be purchased at Best Buy. This is a mode of transportation that’ll give parent’s piece of mind and students the ability to get around campus on their own terms.

First Names: Harry Houdini -nonfiction that young readers can believe in

Books that capture the attention of elementary or middle school readers need to be entertaining. It’s a bonus if said books can fun and leave those young readers with a smile on their face or a sense of wonder. Rare is the book that can be entertaining and fun, all the while doing it in a non-fiction book that upper elementary aged readers will enjoy.

Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert transcends the alicorn crowd

Sophie Johnson loves unicorns. In way she’s like any dreamy-eyed kid between four and eight who wants to believe in magical things. For a short period of our lives trolls, elves and unicorns populate our world. For some people it’s a combination of these creatures, while others are fully invested in one of them. Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert is what her business card would say, if six year-olds started carrying them around. What makes this book work is that it goes beyond the imagination of a young child, has fabulous colors and has just a touch of meta to make any kid in that age range enjoy it.

Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert is a books that transcends those that like alicorns because of the succinct story and friendly art.
Unicorn fans and more will love this book, read on……

Ruby Finds A Worry, lovely message + great art=fabulous book

A worry is not a physical thing. The moment you stop obsessing over said ‘worry’ it magically disappears into the background of life. It’s natural to have illustrated books about being worried because some miss and some hit. Ruby Finds a Worry is by Tom Percival and expertly brings his warmth, pacing, sublime story telling ability and art to a worthy book about a topic that we need to address…but not be worried about.

Ruby Finds A Worry is a fabulous illustrated book. It’s about a worry, but it allows kids to realize how not to act, instead of telling them how to behave.
Ruby Finds a Worry, kids 4-8 will find a jammin book, read on for proof

Awesome Achievers in Technology, short stories of innovation for 8 and up

Eight pages should not be this entertaining and be able to tell a contained story.  That’s what I was thinking at the end of each profile in Awesome Achievers in Technology, Super and Strange Facts about 12 Almost Famous History Makers. Awesome Achieves is a new book series written by Alan Katz, who wrote the very funny book The Day The Mustache Took Over, its sequel and many others. This is an educational book, but it’s also fun to read and provides dozens of ‘light bulb’ moments when readers will see the moment that something special in history was created.

Awesome Achievers in Technology is the first in a series of books. It features 12 tech titans who you probably don’t know.
8 YO readers (and older…) will dig this book, read on we say….

Spencer’s New Pet, great layout and patient story for wordless fans

Wordless books are awesome. They allow readers to use their imagination to entirely propel the story forward.  We don’t know anything about their character’s background or the people who are in the story. There are no names and it gives kids, provided they want to play along, a chance for them to tell their own story within the picture narrative that the author has established. Spencer’s New Pet is by Jessie Sima and has a couple neat hooks that will capture young readers.

Spencer’s New Pet is a wordless book about balloon animals, imagination, self-paced storytelling and the perils of pointy objects.

I’m Worried, an OK illustrated book on being concerned or paranoid

Being worried is a challenging state of being for kids to process. We want them to be concerned and to be cautious, but worrying about anything and everything is counter-productive. I’m Worried by Michael Ian Black with illustrations by Debbie Ridpath Ohi tackles the concept of worrying in a way that some kids will understand.

I’m Worried is an illustrated book that straddles the line between being careful, having fun, worrying and living life.
