The exclamation mark at the end is intentional and this cartoon is aimed at the demo that loves what Nick does-with a hipster West Side Story style beginning. Arnold, the football headed fourth grader is back on DVD with the complete series now available at Walmart.

It’s a cross county road trip with an old ice cream truck, three friends, eco conservation, film making and a dash of National Geographic Kids. Three friends, Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke purchased an old ice cream truck, retrofitted it to run on vegetable oil and are driving around the county this summer. They’ll be giving away ice cream to children around the county, teaching them about conversation, having them sign a pledge and possibly eat some more ice cream-or maybe that’s me eating some.

In our zeal to review The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School we neglected to put up the giveaway. If you didn’t read the review, the book is great. It’s a nice bedtime book that has lots of rhyming, short sentences and a simple, positive lesson for children to learn.

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon is 10” of smack talking genetically modified plastic raccoon that moves when his gun fires. Press his leg or the button on this gun and his torso will shake forward while the gun lights up. This is a fun toy-and our kids love playing with it, but there is something about it that blurs my line between an action figure and collectible.

The amount of British programming that our children watch almost qualifies us for dual citizenship. The latest cannon to enter our fray is Peppa Pig. It’s huge in the UK as it’s been the number #1 pre-school property for the past four years and is utterly charming, for certain demographics.

The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School is the fourth book in the series of a fish trying to find his way. Sometimes he’s a little grumpy or just doesn’t know what to make of these new situations. It reminds a little bit of I Am So Brave, except longer with most of the words rhyming and repeating. It’s also immediately catchy. It took me one reading of The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School to enjoy it and understand how and why it would be enjoyable to our children.
