Pure Magic
A few weeks ago I saw a preview for the movie version of DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux, and not knowing a bit about the storyline, thought the movie looked kinda cute. Beautiful colors and wonderful lines in the animation, a cute little mouse of a hero, and I do love Matthew Broderick (the voice of Despereaux). Even if it did look faintly like "Ratatouille," I felt excited about the movie ...

Absolutely Darling
Oh my gosh, could this movie be any cuter? I don't mean that in a sickeningly sweet way. This movie is just a good story about women trying to make it on their own after the war in London. The Fossil sisters were all foundlings of a collector of all things paleontology. They grew up in a big old grand London house alongside trilobites and T Rex until those treasures had to go to make room for ...

As wonderful and magical as it was the first time I saw it with my big sister, feeling very grown up and traveling to NYC to see this fantastic movie.

The Enchanted Forest
This game was purchased as a gift for my niece since she loved playing it with her tutor. I'm rating it highly due to the fact that, when asked for gift ideas, my sister ranked this game high on her list of ideas.When I received it, it sounded and looked so intriguing that I was very pleased.

Melissa and Doug, 2006

High Quality Puzzle
Their puzzles are awesome...the pieces go together well and they have a good finish on them and are very durable. My 3 and 5-year olds haven't been able to destroy them under constant use! I do wish Melissa & Doug had a better policy for lost pieces though. It seems wasteful that you have to toss a puzzle after losing just one piece. I was told that pieces don't always fit 100% which is why ...

Any Age Will Enjoy
Years ago I purchased these stories in VHS for my small granddaughter. they are wonderful and the added benefit is the well known actors in roles unlike their usual roles played. I now purchased them in DVD as I consider them to be a hand me down family treasure for future little ones in our family. Thank you Shelley Duval.

Good Value for Kids
I got this jewelry box for my 3 year old. She carries it everywhere and loves it. It has stood up to the normal abuse that a small child gives and still is going. The music is nice and not too loud. I would say that this is a great first jewelry box for any little girl.

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! A Tale of Tails

Wubbzy: Grey DeLisle, Widget: Lara Jill Miller

Anchor Bay - ITN, 2008

Finally! Wubbzy on DVD!
My 2 year old LOVES Wubbzy. (and Widget, and Walden...) Nothing like that kooky, bendy, silly tail Wubbzy has. We've seen this episode before, and my daughter just stands in front of the tv. It's an adorable show geared specifically for preschoolers. It's likely a good watch for even younger kids who already watch tv, just for the visuals of the characters and the songs they sing.

Great story and illustrations
I have 3 kids, and this story has been a favorite for all of them. The baby loves to look at the pictures, and my older sons love the silly story. Probably the ideal time to introduce this book is around 18-24 months, but my 10 and 8 year old will still sit and listen, and my 7 month old likes the pictures. We really love all of Tomie's books, and highly recommend them. Strega Nona is a wonderful ...

The puzzle came in quickly and in great condition. As with all of Melissa and Doug items - it was a hit and is of great quality. Can't go wrong - my 5 year old works it over and over and enjoys it every time.

Perfect for any Disney Princess fan!!!!!
I purchased this for my soon to be 3 year old daughter for Christmas along with 6 of the Shimmering Princess dolls (Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Ariel). This is a perfect accessory for those who want to add to the dolls without paying big bucks to buy the princess castle. It is perfect, the music and spinning carriage add a nice touch. Can't wait to see her face ...

Our Favorite Halloween Book
I found this book last year at the library and read it to my daughter when she was three- Within a few pages, she was saying most of the entertainingly repetitive dialogue on her own. It's the best Halloween book for preschoolers out there, in my opinion. This year, we bought a copy of our own and she loved it just as much as the first time around.

The BEST Princess bed tent
This bed tent is Awesome! My 3 year old daughter about freaked when she saw it around her bed. My husband and I ordered it through Walmart for alot cheaper than Amazon's price. It popped right open and we put it around the twin sized bed, and that was it. It looks exactly like the picture. If you don't have a head or foor board, this is the way to do it. I'm sure it would fit around them, but it ...
