This is a spoiler free review. Children love Batman and Superman, the titular characters in one of this year’s most anticipated films. Our 6 year old gave me the sad puppy dog eyes when I said that I was going to see it. Batman V Superman is rated PG-13, some films with that rating are OK for younger kids, while some aren’t. Is Batman V Superman ok for children? No, it’s not, but it’s not good for children for a number of reasons, most which I didn’t expect.

Pull-Ups Potty Partnership #BPopEvents toilet training 101

As a stay at home dad I’m thankful for the little things. For our second child I’m very thankful because potty training him was relatively easy. Having said that, time heals all wounds and he’s been potty trained since he was three and a half. In our family time machine I’m sure that it was fraught with dashes to the potty, accidents and wet pants. Huggies has a new program (and it’s free!)to help you allow your child to be potty trained more readily by working with the strengths of your individual child.

All age comics for March 23, 2016

For new comic book day this week there are some cool, fresh titles in all age comics for your young reader to discover. There are also a couple classics and a vintage board game gets a Star Wars spin-or roll of the dice in this case.

In science fiction you can check out two new Doctor Who comics. These comics are OK for any age on the content, but the vocabulary is such that younger readers might not be attracted to it. Ages 9 and up should be able to read, understand, have fun with it and be their own Timelord. Godzilla: Oblivion is a new five issue mini-series that your 11 year old and up can get into because of art and monster style combat. For ages 10 and up who love Risk they can get Risk: Star Wars, which recreates the final parts of Return of the Jedi.

Superheroes this week has Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy, this is the all age comic that’s based on the Disney XD television series. The trade paperback of Super Angry Birds and a reprint of War of the Gods, a Wonder Woman story arc from the early 90’s are both great for folks who want longer form reading of their favorites.

Humor titles this week have the fifth issue of Jughead, Riverdale’s go-to hungry teen and closet romantic. Simpsons Illustrated #22 compiles three stories from Simpson’s Comics which is one of the best all age comics out there today. Invader Zim #3, Jem & The Holograms #13 and a couple other books also hit shelves this week to tickle the funny bone.

The links will take you to TFAW where you’ll save up to 20% on your order. Where is your closest comic book store? Just put your zip code into the comic book store locator and you’ll be there before you know it. Free Comic Book Day is May 7; we’ll have more on that in the coming weeks including a look at the all age comics you can get for free that day.

How to Capture an Invisible Cat, fast paced, funny creative YA for all

There an known unknowns and unknown knowns, as the saying goes. Paul Tobin, the author of How to Capture an Invisible Cat is a writer whose work I followed for years, yet I never knew his name. He’s written comic books for Adventure Time, Prometheus: Fire and Stone, Predators, Bionic Woman, Plants vs. Zombies and lots of other title that I buy or read for fun. He’s also the author of the most enjoyable children’s book that we’ve read in the past six months out too.

Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #729 review

Our 4 year old absolutely loves Mickey Mouse. It’s his go-to streaming programming on Roku and that’s with only having a handful of Christmas or Halloween episodes. Thus, Mickey is his comic of choice, even though he can’t read yet. In 2015 IDW Publishing relaunched a variety of Walt Disney titles including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories. The later was kept at its previous numerical sequencing to pay homage to the decades of work that went into the title.

Digging in Monopoly Empire for World Monopoly Day, March 19

Like most kids I played Monopoly growing up. My older sister or my dad usually won, except for the rare occasion where I did-and celebrated too much, which caused more space between the games. World Monopoly Day is March 19 and to honor the board game that’s been wheeling and dealing since 1935 we played Monopoly Empire with our oldest. I was hesitant to do so for two reasons, which I’ll explain in a moment.

Monster Truck, the new video from Sugar Free Allstars

It’s been four years since the Sugar Free Allstars put out their last release. Four years is an eternity in music, in kindie music that’s four generations, an even longer time. The video for Monster Truck, their first single in four generations (if you’re a child) just came out and it’s all things funk with a side of yacht rock that will hook kids and parents alike.
