There are a couple great all age comic books coming out this week that young readers can really get excited about.

We’re excited about looking at Fraggle Rock Journey Everlasting #4 (of 4), Planet Gigantic #4 (of 4), SpongeBob Comics and Terrible Lizard.

Scooby Doo Where Are You #53

Sonic The Hedgehog #268

Star Wars #1 This is the new Star Wars comic. Marvel just regained the rights to the comic side of things. It’s technically not all ages, but I can’t imagine Star Wars material being too old.

Star Wars Marvel Yrs Omnibus HC Vol. 01 This is the old school, from 1977 Star Wars comic book that Marvel published. If we let our children read our old copies from back in the day, then it would be all age comic fun.

Steven Universe #6

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures TPB Vol. 09

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures #19

Terrible Lizard #3 (of 5)

Children’s music and the Christmas music test

When we first thought about children’s music it was a pan flute performed by dinosaurs with sing-songy lyrics about sharing. Certainly some children’s music gleefully and willingly falls into that description. However, there are many more choices than those that you just thought of. Some children’s music pass the Christmas music test and some don’t. Here’s what you need to pay attention to and why the Christmas music test might apply to you.

Sick Simon captures the essence of sick-and it’s fabulous

Dan Krall appeared on our radar a couple years ago with Oh, Nuts!, the story about squirrels competing for attention in a metropolitan zoo. His next book, The Great Lollipop Caper about a lollipop trying to become as popular to adults as a caper was one of our favorite books of 2013. We still read that book a couple times a week to our children and laugh. Sick Simon is his latest and continues his streak of books that are as enjoyable for the parents to read as it is for the children to read or look at.

Avengers No More Bullying is a message comic that works

Avengers No More Bullying is a one-shot comic with three different stories by three different superheroes about bullying and good behavior. It stars The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man. The art style in each story is different and consistent with how each hero’s fans know them. The comic succeeds in being entertaining and educational without being preachy or heavy handed. It also presents three all age stories that are appropriate for any age.

How to tell that your child isn’t a heartless monster

When you’re the parent to toddlers and other small people you invite all manner of other small things home too. Your tired immune system saw these microbes, virus’, protozoa and such years ago when you where their age. In the mind’s eye of your child the virus may have a funny cartoon shape, kind of like a doll that was found on the island of misfit toys. Our recent battle with these subprime particles cast doubt upon the humanity of our children. Thankfully it was restored the next day in a hidden gesture that they did weeks ago to other people.

MythBusters 10th Anniversary Collection giveaway & review

Has it really been 10 years of MythBusters? Since they’ve released their 10^th Anniversary collection, I guess so. We watched a couple episodes from the collection and were pleasantly surprised at how well the series has aged.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #8, goofy redemption for the meddling kids

Scooby-Doo! Team Up is exactly what I was expecting from a Scooy-Doo comic book. This is one story, completely stilly, great for all ages and also introduces (?) a new generation to The Jetsons. By the title, Scooby-Doo Team-Up you know that they meet other superheroes or animated characters. In this issue they meet the futuristic family, introduce them to ghosts and figure out a way home.

The state of Daddy Mojo and what to expect from us

First off, thanks for being here. Like the classic song from Expose, Seasons Change, I wanted to loop you in on what to expect from Daddy Mojo. The site has evolved since our rambling travel stories and confused child questions when we weren’t sure how to change a diaper. Now that our kids are older we’ll still write (and review) about baby products, parenting tips, poop culture and more. However, a couple new categories have entered the fray that warrants some explanation.
