Twilight "Cullen Crest" Keyring/ Bagclip

Twilight

Twilight, 2008

If you need a keychain....
And your a fan of the twilight book series this is a nice buy. Its not as glossy as it looks and the crest itself does not have a black background, the crest is also a heavy little thing but nothing drastic, I know there are people out there that dislike heavy keys. But overall its very lovely and I enjoy my little piece of the series.

Creations by You, 2006

A Complete Joy!
Being an author and reviewer when my grandchild asked for this kit as a present I was thrilled. It's always nice to see a child want to follow in your footsteps. Was it worth the money? You bet it was. Inside is everything that was needed for her to use to create her first book. The instructions were easy to follow and she got right to work. What a great book was made. Her illustrations ...

Love, Forgiveness, and Bravery
The Tale of Despereaux This is a tale of forgiveness, when forgiveness is hard; love, through all the storms in life, and light through all the darkness. Despereaux, a small mouse with large ears, wasn't interested in nibbling on the large books in the castle, along with his sister. Instead, he began reading wonderful stories about princesses, knights in shining armor and ...

I have always loved this book!
The Christmas Edition This was a bedtime favorite of my children. Now our oldest is about to have her own child (its a boy). So I bought a parcel of books for the baby. When Kimberly saw this book, tears sprang in her eyes remembering me reading this to her while she sat on my lap. In a few more months someone new will be in her arms on her lap, and she will be reading this book to him.

Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book (Scanimation Books)

Rufus Butler Seder

Workman Publishing Company, 2007

An excellent and very different children's book ...
The good points of this book are simple: 1.This is a very original approach for a children's book. Instead of cartoon characters, pop-up pages or buttons for sounds, the book operates by just opening the cover, literally. 2.The text is large enough and simple enough to start toddlers reading early. 3.The pictures are cute and captivating. My son loves this book and interacts with it ...

Imaginative and Amazing Illustrations
The illustrations in this book really caught my eye. My favorite one was when all the wild things were howling at the moon. I enjoyed how the text stretches over a few pages and keeps the reader interested.

Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)

Golden Books, 2001

attracts attention - a timeless classic
This little book which I bought on impulse turned out to be the best of the activity books for my son, now 13 months old. He is easily distracted and this book (coupled with his father's additional stories about the bunny) helps him stay focused and stimulates imagination. It is also very helpful at the evening meals, when he is so fascinated that even the tiredness does not make him fuss over ...

Twilight "Lion and Lamb" Keyring/ Bagclip

4 reviews

Twilight

Twilight, 2008

Perfect for a "Twilight" Fan
I originally bought this keychain for a friend but decided to keep it. This keychain is for "Twilight" fans and the pieces symbolize the images displayed in the "Twilight" movie and book franchise. Overall, this is not a very sturdy keychain (so it should not be placed on a backpack, for instance, because a piece would break off easily). The little pieces are only colored beautifully on one side ...

How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?

Buy this book in hardcover, not as a board book!
We got a couple of books in the Dinosaurs series as board books from my coworker, and overall my daughter (22 months at the time of this review) liked them, but the hardcovers are simply gorgeous with large, detailed and brilliant pictures. I got this book in the library, and Anna wanted to read it several times in a row (not to mention every night since then). I plan to assemble the whole series ...

Not a Box

HarperCollins, 2006

A child's imagination
As a children's book author it's always a daunting task to think like a child. 'Not a Box' is a take on the children's imagination. I think just about everyone played with boxes as a child. The pure imaginations could turn a simple box into anything they want it to be. I smiled reading this book reminiscing that there was a time when a box was not just a box. I remember when I was young; our ...

Twilight, 2008

Cullen Crest is perfect for any Twilighter
I just got my Cullen Crest Wristcuff yesterday, and It's perfect! It's exactly as the ones are in the movie, and it's perfect for wearing. Since I am one of the few "Twi-guys" this is perfect to show my Twilight pride. It's real leather, and the actual crest is highly detailed to replicate the one in the movie. I highly recommend this to any Twilight fan!

Twilight

Twilight, 2008

Beautiful JEWELRY & not a toy
This just arrived and I am very pleased. So consider the options... on-line auction site for $40+ and it's 'inspired by'; making my own from craft store items about $12 + my time, or this one for $20... No brainer! It is listed under "TOY"??? OHHH so NOT! This item is a solid plated metal with a double chain (that's why the image looks like the chain goes from small to large). It is substantial ...

read it to kids - edition is for grownups, but the stories are for everyone!

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. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

Twilight "Alice's Choker" Replica Jewelry

Twilight, 2008

A Dainty Little Trinket
I ordered Alice's Choker with standard delivery and had it in my hands in less than a week. The ribbon is covered with gray felt, and the actual crest is just small enough to fit in the dip of your collarbone. The length of the choker is slightly long for me, personally, but that's definitely a smart move on NECA's part, as its size does lend itself to a broader scope of fans. It's a dainty, ...

Mr. Potato Head

Thank you Mr. Potato Head!
Mr. Potato Head just potty trained my 3 year old! After much discussion with her about using the potty, we finally found the trick for her! Each time she went she got to put a piece on her new Mr. Potato head and by the time she was half done with the pieces she was potty trained. I doubt Mr. Potato Head has had such a heroic review.

Just sometimes, Fancy isn't really Fun!
Fancy Nancy is about to get a new dog! Of course, her dog must be the fanciest -- a really Posh Puppy. When Nancy dog-sits a really Posh Pup, she realizes that he's not the right dog for her. (I guess those visits to the salon can get pretty old!) There's a great lesson here when Nancy and her family go to the animal shelter to find a dog to rescue. Oh, his name is Fancy because it's Frenchy, ...

A proper mystery!
I think you have to be a kid or a kid at heart to properly understand the magic of this book. What kid did not dream of running away? Here is a girl, a very practical girl, who makes that dream come true. She and her younger brother create an elaborate plan to run away and hide in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Remember, this was written before huge advancements in security. As they live an ...
