Great entertainment for my son (and his older brothers and most adults). He got the toy at 15 mos and really couldnt figure out how to leave him alone when he got to giggling and did his thing...so Elmo got knocked over a lot. Now really gets a kick out him and takes him everywhere. Definitely worth the money...well at least we got our ...             Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)307 reviews Mary Costa, Bill Shirley Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, 2008 As good as I remembered!

Before this movie was released on blu-ray I bought it for standard DVD. I obviously still own a lot of standard DVD's and building up by blu-ray collection. Although, I was impressed with the standard version of this movie, the blu-ray edition is amazing. I first saw it at Circuit City being played on a Samsung with 120 hz. Wow! I bought it that day (along with the TV!).             Wii Rock Band Special Edition117 reviews Nintendo Wii | MTV Games, 2008 Rock Band for the Wii -- In the Name of Rock and Roll I love my Rock Band for my Wii.

It Rocks! I found this to be entertaining. It is a little violent at times, so I wouldn't recommend it to children, even though they have marketed it to them with a Zillion Toys! I liked it better than Fantastic 4 part 2, and Spiderman 2 and 3.             Xbox 360 Rock Band 2 Special Edition6 reviews Xbox 360 | MTV Games, 2008 Got Kids? Girls, even? Rock on! -- A Mom's perspective on Rock Band 2 I'm a 36 yo mom with two girls. Rock Band 2 had become a phenom in our house. There's a magic in making music together, esp with loved ones, that can't be explained, only experienced. I have to say I'm woefully, pityfully unmusical, and frankly, Rock Band intimidated and scared me - embarassed me at the thought - and I was afraid to even touch it, and I never ever, in ten million lifetimes ...             Scholastic Children's Dictionary48 reviews Scholastic Scholastic Reference, 2007 Small school I purchased a number of dictionaries to be used by all the students in a small school.

OK for the money. Good seller, prompt shipping.             The Best Christmas Pageant Ever115 reviews Barbara Robinson HarperTrophy, 1988 Best Christmas Pagaent Ever I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years.

I bought this game for my 7 year old twins, a boy and a girl. They both love it. It is nice having two different levels of difficulty. An adult must help as the kids can't read all of the words yet. We even help our 3 year old play too. As a teacher and parent, I would definitely recommend this game for the whole family.             Bakugan Special Attack (Series 1 - Delta Dragonoid II) (Colors Will Vary)2 reviews Spin Master Spin Master Taken for 28 bucks shame on me Paid 44 Bucks for two Bakugan and next week they were at Walmart for 7.88 each.

I began to borrow it from the library for my own two boys and decided, finally, to order one from Amazon for my son's birthday.

So, you can imagine my son's elation to open up his very own "Little Engine That Could" on his birthday.
