Book Review - Hip & Hop in the House!

About the Book
HIP is a turtle who raps very slowly.
HOP is a bunny who raps superfast.
Together they are Hip & Hop, the coolest rap duo in Oldskool County.

This hilarious collection features two stories that remix the fable of the tortoise and the hare, combining comic book elements with short raps, traditional narration, and the coolest characters on the block.



My Take on the Book
This was a super cute book that brings together so many fun characters having their fun with rapping up a storm. This was a very cute book with two main stories that were fun to read. The characters made some very fun poetry and rap. In the end you have to read all the way through to see what happens!

My Take on the Book
My daughter loves to work through books like this that allow her to get to capture who she is and then look back on it later as she gets older. This was a great book that asked some very good questions. As you work through the questions my daughter said she felt like she was writing her own story and after looking through what she wrote I could tell that this is exactly what she was doing. The book walks you through everything that you need to write the story they want for themselves!

DVD Review - National Parks Adventure

About the DVD

The power of America's national parks is undeniable. Millions have packed up the family to hike through impossibly lush forests, to gaze upon towering cliffs and deep-plunging canyons, to witness the breathtaking arcs of natural history, and, most of all, to share moments of wonder amid the protected treasures of this land.

A MacGillivray Freeman film produced in association with Brand USA and narrated by Academy Award® winner* Robert Redford, National Parks Adventure is acclaimed filmmaker Greg MacGillivray's most visually ambitious giant-screen film to date — a film that offers not only a sweeping overview of the national parks' history, but is equal parts adrenaline-pumping odyssey and soulful reflection on what the wilderness means to us all.

*2002: Honorary Award; 1980: Best Director, Ordinary People

Includes 4K SDR And 4K HDR For The Full UHD Experience. Ultra HD TV With HDR Needed To Access 4K HDR.


My Take on the DVD
I had seen this in the theater and loved seeing it in IMAX. This DVD version loses some of the IMAX feel but you still get to experience the National Parks in a whole new way. The imagery within the parks were remarkable. I have visited some of these parks in the past but there were others that have been on my list. If you have or have not visited our National Parks in the past this movie will open a window into these wonderful locations!

Includes All 40 Episodes!


My Take on the DVD
This is an amazing set for anyone that is a Gravity Falls fan. This will give you the entire series so you can get a chance to see everything. My daughter and I had just started to watch this series before we got this and now we had the chance to see even more. This summer we had more time to binge watch this and I can tell you that the more we saw the more that we loved the characters and the plot of the entire series. 

The great thing about this set is that you get everything that you need to continue being a superfan of this funny, unique series that will keep you coming back for more.

Whether you are a fan already or not this series is so much fun and this set is definitely worth the cost as you get ALL 40 episodes of the series!

Book Post - Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary

About the Book
For the first time in paperback, this Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary takes readers aged 8+ on a phizz-whizzing, splendiferous, fantabulous journey deep into the language of Roald Dahl's bestselling children's stories. This is a dictionary which will develop language and literacy skills by igniting the creativity in all readers and writers everywhere. Lots of dictionaries tell you what an 'alligator' is, or how to spell 'balloon' but they won't explain the difference between a 'ringbeller' and a 'trogglehumper', or say why witches need 'gruntles' eggs' or suggest a word for the shape of a 'Knid'. This dictionary does all those things. All the words that Roald Dahl invented are here, like 'biffsquiggled' and 'whizzpopping' to remind you what means what, but that is not all. You'll also find out where words came from, rhyming words, synonyms and lots of alternative words for words that are overused. Oxford Children's Dictionaries are perfect for supporting literacy and learning and this is the world's first Roald Dahl Dictionary from the word experts at Oxford University Press.



My Take on the Book
As a Roald Dahl fan this book has so much fun wordplay and so many illustrations from Roald Dahlbooks. The book has words that you would typically see in Roald Dahl books that you have come to love as well words that are well known. However, even if you know the word, the definition includes a definition that you know but also has a quote from a Roald Dahl book that ties into the definition too. The book is such a unique book with so much inventive use of language. You and your family will love to read this together!
