Shinobi: Ninja Warrior Princess #6 delivers the action and more

I had a 9 year old reviewer that does some work for us look at Shinobi: Ninja Warrior Princess #1 when it first came out in the late summer. She was underwhelmed, said that it needed more action and then mumbled something about not liking ninjas. Our reviewer needs to take a look at the final issue in this limited series because it’s loaded with action, has lots of female heroes, a monster or two and some ninjas. She’ll just have to deal with the ninjas.

Penguins of Madagascar #3 is what I wanted the mini-series to be. Unlike the second issue which seemed to open up an ongoing story, the third issue is simply pure, happy penguin, Afro Circus fun that puts everything in a bow at the end of the issue.

The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection, happy, kindie 101

If you do a search for top kindie artists Laurie Berkner is in any top 10 list. Since 2002 she’s been recording acoustic guitar children’s music to the delight of preschoolers, young children and adults everywhere. To be a fan of children’s music and not like Laurie Berkner is to say that you like rap, but don’t like Run DMC. She’s the blueprint of kindie for a reason and The Ultimate Luarie Berkner Band Collection is packed with 22 songs that prove that.

Raise Your Hand by The Not-Its is kindie rock at its best

There is a fine line between parody and children’s music. Good children’s music, kindie, is different beast entirely. Factor in trying to make great kindie music when you already have a reputation in that genre and it can be easier or more difficult.
