Children is the broader term for infants, toddlers and tweens. These posts are about children of all ages.
Growing up in the south I don’t know too much about hockey. While living in a cold environment isn’t mandatory towards playing or enjoying the sport it does seem to thicken up your blood that allows one to tolerate icy environs. I understand how hockey can be a fun game to watch, it’s just that I don’t understand the game. My First Book of Hockey from Sports Illustrated Kids is not intended for adults.

It’s National School Lunch Week and Welch’s® Fruit Snacks has partnered with Feeding America to help kids in your area. National School Lunch Week is October 10th – October 14th. Through October they’ve partnered with Feeding America to provide 1 million meals to kids who need them.
In honor of this week Welch’s® Fruit Snacks challenges parents to pack the ultimate school lunch. Now, we’re no Lunchbox Dad. Our version of a successful lunch is getting it made and in the box at least 10 minutes before the bus arrives. If I want to feel like Super Dad I’ll make it the night before and put a cape around my neck. I do envy the art and creativity that he does when it comes to their kid’s school lunches.
Even if you can’t make a themed lunch you can still be a hero to local kids though Feeding America and their partnership with Welchs Fruit Snack. Just buy any Welchs Fruit Snacks, take a photo of the packaging and then submit it. You can send it in by texting ‘lunch’ to 811-811or upload it to fillthelunchbox.com. For each photo receive Welchs will donate $1.0 to Feeding America.
Thank the lunch lady. Make the kids a great lunch and give them a special treat or two. Don’t forget to take a photo of your Welchs for a great cause.
The official title of Andrew & Polly’s latest release is Ear Snacks, Songs From The Podcast. Our family saw Andrew & Polly in concert this past year and absolutely fell in love with them. Helpful hint: take the kids to a kindie concert, they will love it and the parents will have much more fun then they think they will. So when I saw the title for their latest, I was kind of bummed because Songs From The Podcast sounds like a compilation of ‘B’ material. In the world of animation it would call it a clip show. It’s a Frankenstein release that’s not loved, but put out there to oblige a required amount of new music or footage.

People with small children know Penguin. Penguin is the titular character in some of the books by Salina Yoon. Penguin is optimistic, curious, and resourceful, has lots of friends and sometimes does things with the family. Readers aren’t sure if Penguin is a boy or girl, they’re kind of like a starfish in that regard in that the penguin books are great for any kid. Penguin’s Christmas Wish is the latest entry in the franchise and has our flightless friend with his family where he’s forced to understand the true meaning of Christmas.

Star Vs. The Forces of Evil is a force in her own right to be reckoned with. She’s the star of one of the coolest, most creative shows that’s on the air on Disney XD now. This is a very funny show that would be as comfortable, if not more so, on Cartoon Network as it is on its current home. The comic book version of Star Vs. The Forces of Evil #1 is out and what young girls who read Spongebob Comics or Adventure Time are looking for.
Mike Evans is your typical 9 year old kid. He looks up to his dad, who is a world renowned paleontologist who travels the world. Thankfully for our title character Mike has the habit of finding adventure, usually in the form of reanimated dinosaurs. Sometimes it’s a shadowy character pulling the strings, time traveling or meeting new friends who might factor into the story somehow. Dino-Mike is a continuing mini-series of books that will appeal to kids in upper elementary through middle school who like action, science fiction, dinosaurs or travel.

If you have a young reader then you know Captain Underpants. He’s the erstwhile principal who fights evil while wearing his underwear and is often assisted by George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two fourth grade students. It’s also the publishing juggernaut that’s seen millions of books in dozens of languages, a feature film in the summer of 2017 and Dog Man is the character that started it all more than 40 years ago.

The Pinkaboos are a group of friends who are Frights that are being picked on at school. The bully, Vex, is an older student who picks on Bitteryly, Belladonna and Abyssma for no reason other than the fact that they’re younger than her. It’s the job of a Fright to help their assigned human conquer the fears that they encounter during a nightmare. Vex refers to them as Pinkaboos because they attend Fright School, and pink is the farthest thing from scary, isn’t it?
