Donkey X DVD review



Donkey X DVD Review 

Based on the 400 year old Spansih classic tale " Don Quijote de la Mancha," DonkeyX, releasing in July 2012, follows Rucio, the most adventurous, brave and mischievous Doneky of Castile, as he tells the true story of the legendary Don Quijote.  Rucio Jumps at the opportunity to join Don Quixote on his quest to battle The Half Moon Knight and overcome the dangerous obstacles that lurk them on the way.  

This new animation takes on Don Quixote.  If you have not seen Don Quixote then make sure you watch that first or you will be lost in this story.  Donkey X is rated G and runs about 90 minutes.  I think kids a bit older will enjoy the film more.  My 4 year still did enjoy it but I know she had no idea what was going on within the plot.  She lost interest a few times and started playing but then a few minutes later it caught her attention again.  

There is some adult humor that for the most part was clean.  It was also neat to see some Christian aspects within the movie such as praying.  :)  

There is some minor language issues and I wish the girls would cover up their chests a bit more... this is an animation so why so much cleavage.  (Sorry just had to say that)  

This DVD can be purchased at Redbox, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.com

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
