Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
Suee and The Shadow is an original graphic novel by Ginger Ly with illustrations by Molly Park.

It’s a pulp noir detective for the elementary school set that manages to build up genuine intrigue and mystery for readers aged 8 and up.

We’re part of the StreamTeam for Netflix and were compensated for this post. Reboots and remakes of older shows are inevitable. Sometimes it’s done well and other times it’s instantly forgettable. The Magic School Bus was a show that aired when I was in college, so my first time seeing it was on DVD with the kids. They loved the show, I really enjoyed it and aside from the animation it aged very well. When The Magic School Bus Rides Again was announced my social media streams lit up with chants of ‘they’ve ruined my childhood’. That crowd can rest easy for a number of reasons, plus the birthday festivities just got more interactive on Netflix.

School’s First Day of School is one of those children’s books that really speak to kids. It channels their inner joy, paranoia and imagination about things that adults take for granted. For example, what if the building that you spent at least 35 hours a week in was alive? That’s the premise behind School’s First Day of School with a story by Adam Rex with illustrations by Christian Robinson.

In 1989 Faith No More released The Real Thing, an Epic, tour de force album that had many hit singles and propelled the band out of cult status to mainstream success. Their next LP (ask you parents what that is kids) was Angel Dust. It was a great album that was drastically different, but still had the quality of its previous release. To an extent, LEGO Ninjago is the LEGO movie brand equivalent of Angel Dust. Aspects of the film are so different, weird and utterly out there that at times the film has more in common with an Asian kaiju movie.
Mild spoilers follow…..

Wild is the newest installment in an ongoing series by Dan Kainen with text written by Kathy Wollard. These books are large and feature pictures that move. These pictures aren’t so emotional that they will move you. It’s the fact that these photos move-or at least give the very real effect that they are moving due to Photicular technology the animals in Wild appear to run, pick, scavenge, lick, fly or more as readers turn the page.

I can’t believe that they sent out videos that had the wrong show. When you start watching Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady it looks like a bad copy of the original show. The DVD is supposedly new and features the current TMNT, however, the first things you see when the video starts are the old school turtles from the 80’s. The turtles are in a massive sewer following Shredder, Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady, who are also the 1980’s version.

To some people this seems like torture. Star Wars Dot-to-Dot has hundreds of numbers and dots on each page that need to be connected. When you finish each puzzle you’ll have an incredibly detailed picture that happened at some point in time in the Star Wars storyline. By looking at each page without any markings you might be able to roughly see the outline of a face, craft or bot, but you won’t be able to identify them.
