Delgo DVD Review

You will need your imagination and immerse yourself in the fantasy world for the new movie Delgo. When two kingdoms are forced to live in the same area, they must learn to get along and cooperate.

This movie features many famous voices such as Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer, Chris Kattan, Kelly Ripa, Anne Bancroft, Lou Gossett Jr., Burt Reynolds and more. Talk about an all-star cast!

A good description of the movie from the press release:

Delgo takes place in a magical world where two civilizations, divided by fear, and two hearts, guided by love, have one chance to save their world. With the help of a devious traitor and two bumbling servants, an exiled Empress (Bancroft) kidnaps the Nohrin princess (Hewitt) and frames a Lockni teenager, Delgo (Prinze Jr.) for the crime, igniting a war between their people. Desperate to clear his name and rescue the princess, Delgo and his faint-hearted friend Filo (Kattan) join forces with a disgraced Nohrin commander (Kilmer) to prove Delgo's innocence, rescue a princess, reveal a traitor, end a war and unit the poeples of the land before it's too late.

This movie is an epic adventure of good and evil. One person was wronged, another tries to make things right. Will the people learn to get along for good? With new friendships being formed and others proving their worth, maybe things will turn out OK.

The imagination of this movie is amazing. There are so many creatures and people of all different types and shapes. I love the uniqueness of it all.

This movie is better for older children. My son is 3 and it was a little over his head.The Delgo DVD comes with an exclusive animated short, Chroma Chamelon, behind the scenes footage, meet the characters, and more. The DVD is 99 minutes long and available now.

Buy It: This movie is available in stores and in several different places online also.

Kidwinks DVD Review

Kidwinks is a new DVD series that sets out to "stimulate children's speech and language skill and growth". Developed by specialist (a speech pathologist, a music therapist, and an art therapist) Kidwinks is an interested program specifically for young children.

My 3 year old son was instantly entranced by the video we previewed, Kidwinks Play. I'm not even sure what it was about the video that caught his attention so quickly. I found it a little redundant and thought he'd be bored with it. (Of course it's supposed to be this way, but I was surprised my son liked it nonetheless.) He was watching contently and saying the words along with it.

Kidwinks is made for young children and children with speech delays. I love that there is something like this out there for kids like this. I am very passionate about helping children to learn to speak, read, write, etc. This video is made just for that. I'm very happy that there is something for children with speech delays as well.

This video is to the point for young kids. They specifically slow it down to make it easy for children to understand. The dialogue is direct and precise. They repeat many words and phrases over and over. Then they use sign language to teach certain words, i.e. ball. It is also very engaging and interactive with children. My son quickly picked up the sign language words that they used. Well, to be honest he used half of them about 2 years ago, but he stopped using them when he started talking. It was a good refresher and a good learning experience for him.

From the press release:

"The live-action Kidwinks series is designed to stimulate children's interest and increase their awareness of words and language by teaching through short phrases, repetition, sign language, music and simple movements. Kidwinks is also effective for children with linguistic difficulties and those learning English as a second language. Best of all, with its charming characters, original songs and positive reinforcement, Kidwinks is engaging, encouraging and fun."

These videos run for 20 minutes (just long enough to keep your young child's attention). They are made for children ages 18 months and older. The cost is about $14.95 for a DVD.

Buy It: For more information and to purchase a Kidwinks DVD, you can visit their website www.kidwinksUSA.com.

*A review copy of the DVD was received for the purpose of developing this review.*

Barney: Book Fair DVD + Book Collection Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Book lovers rejoice! Barney has a book with his new DVD. It's called Barney: Book Fair DVD + Book Collection.

I have to tell you, I was very excited to receive this book from the Barney collection along with a DVD. My son loves to watch videos, and he loves Barney, but he really loves to read books. I do too! And I love reading to him, so this was a perfect combination.

The DVD Barney: Book Fair comes inside a remake of the book Count to 10 all for the same price. I don't know about you, but I like 2 for 1 deals. And as always with Barney there is singing and dancing and lots of fun things happening at all times. In Barney: Book Fair the children learn what fun books are. There is always a new adventure waiting when you open a book to see what's inside.

My son thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. He really likes Barney. He also brought the book for me to read over and over. And he reads the book himself too, because he can read the numbers and count along with me.

This DVD is targeted at children ages 2-5. It runs about 52 minutes. This is a DVD repackage of Read With Me Dance With Me which was originally released in 2003.

Buy It: The Barney: Book Fair DVD + Book Collection is available in stores now or you can find it online too.

Bob the Builder: Built For Fun DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Newly released Bob The Builder: Built For Fun DVD is packed full of can-do entertainment. Bob and his crew build a radio station and learn about contributing in their own way to it as well. Your children will see how important using recycled matters are when Bob and the other help construct a greenhouse out of recycled items.

You will enjoy the 5 new episodes on this Bob the Builder video. The episodes include "Radio Bob," "Super Slasher," "Roley Brings the House," "Silent Scoop,"and "Scrambler Gets Prepared." On the DVD are also bonus features- "Build with Bob" The Game and the "Building Buddies" Read-Along.

The episodes in this DVD are great. They are filled with all the Bob the Builders we all love: Scoop, Rolly, Scrambler and more. My son has really gotten into the games on these DVD players lately. He's finally figured out how to use the remote to play them. So the "Build with Bob" game is right up his alley.

Bob the Builder: Built For Fun DVD runs about 46 minutes long. It is targeted at 2-5 year olds. I love that boys and girls alike love Bob and the other characters. This DVD also includes a free collectible toy.

We got the Rolly toy with ours. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of this particular toy. It was all plastic and only one of the rollers moves on it, the other is meant to be stationary. Other toys we've gotten with DVDs from HIT have had nicely made metal/plastic toys. They were just a little better quality. While my son does like this toy (and it's free with the DVD), it let me down a little this time. But the video is worth it, and the price isn't any more than normal just because it includes a toy.

Buy It: The Bob The Builder: Built For Fun DVD is available in stores now or you can find it online too.

Win It: I have one (1) copy of Bob The Builder: Built For Fun to giveaway to you my beautiful readers.

Garfield's Pet Force DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Last month Garfield took the world by storm again with the release of his newest movie Garfield's Pet Force on DVD. When an evil character is trying to take over the world, who else would be there to save the day. Garfield steps in with the help of his other pals to help.

I grew up loving Garfield cartoons. And who could forget the TV show that was on then too. Garfield just celebrated his 30th birthday, and he's had so many comic strips as well as videos and more.

I was excited to see Garfield in action again. And his faithful friends were all along too. You couldn't take Garfield without a little dose of John, Odie, Nermal, and Arlene too.

I was a little disappointed with this DVD. I think it was because I remember watching Garfield on TV as a kid. This was not the same animation or even voice of Garfield that I know. But overall it was a fun movie.

My 3 year old didn't have too much to say about it. He didn't say he didn't like it (and he will if he doesn't), but he hasn't asked to watch it since either. I think this is mostly because of the target age, which is older than my son.

This Garfield's Pet Force DVD is made for children ages 6-12. The run time is 78 minutes. It also has a DVD-ROM game on it that you can use to "build your own superhero". I know kids in that age range would really enjoy something like that.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Garfield's Pet Force in stores or online now.

Win It: I have one (1) copy of this DVD to giveaway to my lucky readers.

To enter: Leave a comment here, telling me your favorite cartoon from your childhood (or now if you want). You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

All Modern Baby Review

All Modern Baby is an online retailer that specializes in modern children's furniture and other accessories. They carry many popular brands such as Maclaren, Stokke, Bugaboo, and many others.

I love the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair. This is a versatile high chair that also turns into a toddler chair and can be used for adults as well. I know one of these would be great in our house. It comes in so many different colors and even has a 7 year warranty.

Another thing I love from All Modern Baby is the Bugaboo - Cameleon Stroller. I would love to have an awesome stroller like this for my next baby. The bassinet is a great place for a sleeping baby to rest. When Zachariah was a baby, I loved walking around the mall with him in our stroller. It was nice for me to get out of the house and get a little exercise walking around, plus I could look for bargains on baby clothes. And the movement of the stroller always made him fall asleep, so he got a nice little nap out of the trip. This stroller would be perfect for that. I love all the colors the Bugaboo - Cameleon Stroller comes in too. Check out the orange above.

Or if you're really into modern decor, this table from ducduc is awesome. I might be willing to go more modern just so I could get this table. It is set up for families. There are booster seats and high chair seats that go with it. And the table pieces that pull out are great. Plus there is storage inside. So many options with a table like this.

If you're looking for some fun, unique baby toys for your children or for someone else, All Modern Baby has many great ones. I know the Wonderworld - Sliding Town City Themed Building Blocks would be a big hit with any toddler/pre-schooler boy. I know my 3 year old son would love it.

I especially love this little scooter from Svan. I can only imagine the fun that kids would have on this great ride-on toy. And I love the wood construction of it. It's definitely a unique and exciting toy.

I was given the opportunity to review a JJ Cole Diaper Bag from All Modern Baby. They have a big assortment of diaper bags on their site too. The JJ Cole - Mode Tote in Green Mod is a great bag. I have been thoroughly impressed with it. It has so many wonderful features to it.

I loved the large shoulder strap with a nice pad on top. And the pad moves easily, so if you adjust the bag you don't have to worry about the shoulder pad moving with it. It's big enough that you can wear it across your body comfortably. I love that I can do that, because it frees up my hands and I'm not worrying about the bag slipping off my shoulder either. Or the tote straps are just as great. They close shut with snaps at the top too. And they are long enough to comfortably carry over your shoulder. If they are not in use, they can easily tuck into the front and back pockets where you won't even notice them. Also the shoulder handle is removable for when it's not in use.

Inside the JJ Cole bag there are many pockets. I found spots that would hold diapers wipes, and so many more things. You won't have to worry about losing stuff in the bottom of this bag. Everything will have it's own place. I don't carry a diaper bag any more (except to try this one out), and I found lots of places for my items as well as my son's. His little toy cars went into one pocket, my wallet into another. In the front there are two slim pockets that I found great to use for my notepad and pen. There is also a bottle/sippy cup slot on the outside.

And the other things I loved on the inside was the key clip. You definitely don't have to worry about losing your keys in the bottom.

This bag is thin and stands tall. There are 4 metal stabilizing feet on the bottom, which are great when you're out to dinner and want the bag sitting beside you for easy access to baby items. The size and shape were perfect for me.

The JJ Cole bag also comes with stroller attachments. I love using those when I need more space in my stroller basket. The attachments are easy to put on and just unclip when you're done. Depending on how heavy your bag is, they may tip the stroller if no one is in it. But maybe it's just me that packs my bags when I have all that space to fill.

Being PVC and Phthalate free, the bag is made of great material that is easy to clean as well. And it comes in four different colors.

Be sure to check out all the wonderful children/baby items that All Modern Baby has to offer. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

**Thanks to All Modern Baby for providing the JJ Cole - Mode Tote Bag for the purpose of developing this review.**

Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose just arrived on video in June. This newest addition the the full episodes DVD is quite amusing.

We were just discussing these movies with our friends the other night. We laughed and went on and on about how hilarious the Shaun the Sheep DVDs are. And, as someone pointed out, we can laugh so hard from sheep who don't even speak. These little animated guys have such personality, that they don't need words to make us laugh.

In this new Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose Shaun, Bitzer the dog, and the rest of the woolly gang have these episodes: "Sheep on the Loose", "Saturday Night Shaun", "Tidy Up", "Shaun the Farmer", "Camping Chaos", and "You Can't Stand the Heat". I think my favorite out of these is "Tidy Up". I love how out of control a simple cleaning task can be when Shaun and his gang try to help. And most mothers will know what I mean. (It's just one of those times when you step back, take a look, and think I should have just done it by myself.)

While some of the jokes go over my 3 year old's head, he still really enjoys the Shaun the Sheep videos. There is just something about these wacky, crazy sheep that captures everyone's attention. And they are always good for a laugh.

This DVD runs about 40 minutes, and it's made for fans of all ages. (They list 2-60, but why stop there?) There are also some bonus features showing how to make a pig and a behind the scenes look at creating Shaun.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Shaun the Sheep: Sheep on the Loose in stores now or online too.

Win It: I have one (1) copy of this DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.

Bob The Builder: Truck Teamwork DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

With new never-before-seen episodes Bob The Builder: Truck Teamwork on DVD will be a hit with all the young ones in your family. Bob and his team are always ready for action. There are problems to solve and things to build. And with the positive attitude of Bob and his whole team, they can accomplish many things together.

Bob the Builder: Truck Teamwork has 5 fun episodes that include: Scoops' Best team Ever, Go Mr. Bentley Go, Packer's Trailer Trouble, Muck's Machine Wash, Breezy Bristle. There is also a great bonus episode of Roary The Racing Car: Roary Takes Off. (We really like Roary!) The DVD also has extras like the "We Can Do It" Read-Along and "If You Were on Bob's Team" game where you can find out which team would be best for you.

My son, Zachariah, has really enjoyed this particular Bob The Builder DVD. I'm not sure what exactly makes it more endearing than the other Bob The Builder DVDs we own, but it is a great one. He's even been running around the house quoting things from the movie: "Big Boss Benny! Big Boss Benny!". (From the "Scoop's Best Team Ever" episode when Scoop and Benny both take a shot at being team leaders.)

My favorite episode on this DVD is "Go Mr. Bentley Go". Bob's team is helping Mr. Bentley get into shape with a new workout program. They are also building workout stations all through town. Bob's team turn out to be great personal trainers. I wish they'd come get me into shape too. But the most important thing they learned that day was rest is just as good for a body as exercise.

Bob The Builder: Truck Teamwork runs almost an hour long. It is targeted at children ages 2-5. Perfect for the pre-schooler in your life.

I almost forgot...this DVD comes with a great little toy. It's Scrambler the 4 wheeler. It's a nice little toy that you kids will enjoy as well. And I love that the DVD is in a thin case for this one. Maybe that's because our DVD collection has gotten a little out of control lately. These little space savers help a lot.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Bob The Builder: Truck Teamwork in stores now or online too.

****If you're a Bob the Builder fan, you must go look at this great deal on their website! They have 22 Bob the Builder DVDs on sale for $5 each. That's too good of a deal to pass up. I might have to grab a few that we don't already have. One of our favorites Bob The Builder ON SITE: Roads and Bridges is one of them. ****

At least that's what I'd like to think. Today is my birthday! It was a fun day. One year closer to 30, but in a way I'm looking forward to a new milestone in my life. There are so many things to do because of the approaching holiday weekend. But lots of fun things to do too.

I have more reviews to come. Lots of great children's movies coming out too. Come back next week for new reviews and giveaways. Here's a preview of what's to come:

Have a fun and safe 4th of July! See you back here next week!
