Skyward #9 concludes this story arc-still great all ages comic

When we took a look at Skyward #6 it was awesome.  The series was a fabulous tour de force all ages comic that captured the attention of parents and children.  The final arc of The Battle For Three Rivers ends in issue #9 of Skyward and it’s still very good, but left me wanting more.

Win a copy of The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School giveaway

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.

The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School-a great rhyming good night book

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.

Simpsons Illustrated #12 –great for casual fans of the comic

I don’t read Simpsons Comics every month.  I know Matt Groening and Bongo Comics would love for me to, but I have to draw my comic budget somewhere.  The reason that I picked up Simpsons Illustrated #12 is that A.  It’s The Simpsons and B. It’s much thicker than the monthly book for only $1 more. I’m glad that I got Simpsons Illustrated #12 because it is really funny and a bit different than the regular comic.

Countablock, the best children’s counting book that we’ve seen

In November 2013 we reviewed Alphablock from these same authors and our headline was almost the same.  Countablock follows the same presentation that Alphablock did so well, except this time with numbers from 1 to 100.  It’s written by Christopher Franceschelli with the art by Peskimo.  Countablock is intended for ages 1-3, but our almost 5 year old loves it and don’t get tired of reading it to them either.

Legendary Star Lord #1: promising start to a cool character

The Guardians of the Galaxy are hot now.  Super hot.  We caught 17 minutes of the movie the other week and it is a new classic.  Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been our favorite comic for the past year.  They’re appearing in Silver Surfer this month and it only makes sense that Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon get their own comic.

Montessori: Map Work immediately grabs (and holds) kid’s attention

Our oldest child who is four and a half loves animals.  It wasn’t too much of a surprise when he immediately grabbed Montessori: Map Work and put it in his bedroom to where I couldn’t find it for a couple weeks.  Having found the book again I can now review it just in time for its release.
