Danger in the Manger disappoints all, even the diehard Whovians

Danger in the Manger is the sequel to Nativity!.   I never saw Nativity!, but it must have been good enough to merit a sequel, right?  They would never make a sequel to a Christmas movie just because it’s a seasonal movie, would they?  This is the story of a Christmas song competition, a class of regular students with a jokey teacher that gets into the finals, the pretentious yet well meaning class of talented singers and a class representing the ones that win every year.  Think of it as Christmas themed episode of Glee with elements of The Bad News Bears tossed in for comedic effect.

Battle Bunny- creative & twisted children’s book at its best

As a child I remember getting a book or two that I didn’t want to get. It was boring, too young and intended for the child that they thought I was, instead of the boy that I had become.   Battle Bunny takes that premise, turns it on its head and manages to make one of the most enjoyable children’s books that my wife and I have seen this year.

Children will love the Bigsby Interactive Story Buddy from Hallmark

As a gift the other year we gave one of the Hallmark interactive story characters to a friend’s child who had just turned 6.  The child loved the gift but I didn’t really get it.  Now that we have a child who is on the cusp of reading, I get it.  The Bigsby Interactive Story Buddy is another avenue for kids to enjoy reading and it really works.

The Descender from Rockboard #Giveaway #BPopEvents

As part of the Blog Pop Team we’re giving away some really cool stuff this Christmas holiday season.  I reviewed the Descender from Rockboard and am really excited be able to give one of these away.  The Descender is an all terrain skateboard, intended for ages 8 and up that is really fun to operate.  Fun is really an understatement as I was grinning for a couple of hours after I used it.

The Descender from Rockboard is an all terrain adrenaline rush

Remember the “a ha” moment in A View to a Kill when Bond took the blade from his snowmobile and turned it into a snowboard? That feeling is the same as when you step onto a Rockboard Descender.  It’s essentially a skateboard for the dirt.  The Descender from Rockboard uses treads instead of wheels that allow it to move off road with ease.  So, perhaps it’s more appropriate to call it an all terrain skateboard, with wheels like a tank that provides adrenaline and fun.
