Dana (24 KP) rated Fever (The Chemical Garden, #2) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I give this book a four because I couldn't get into it at first. It did get more interesting as it went along. This could have been because it had been so long since I read the first book. I don't want to make the same mistakes with Sever. I need to get that one very soon. In the end, I enjoyed the epic cliffhanger, but I felt very sorry for all of the troubles that had befallen Rhine. She had to go through so much crap in both of the books and I hope she doesn't have to go through so much in the next one. Overall, I would recommend this to people. The first book was amazing, and the second one, if I had read it in a timely manner, I think could have been just as good from the start. Great job Ms. DeStefano! I look forward to future adventures with your books!

Cutie’s Big Adventures: Cutie Meets Mr. Lizard by Felicia Di John is a wonderful story.
Cutie is a sweet, curious and adventurous dog who lives in a house in the desert. Her mom Ava Rose is six years old and loves Cutie very much. She would like to play with her all day, but she must go to school. Cutie is never happy when her mom leaves her for school because that means she will be home all alone. So today, Cutie decides to go outdoors by herself to play. She explores the desert around her, makes a new friend, and finds that some animals eat strange things. She is having so much fun that she almost forgets to get back home before her mom arrives.
I read this book to my 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade students. They loved the book and begged for more stories of Cutie. The story was captivating and the pictures appeared to jump off the page.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) in Movies
Jan 26, 2020
Probably my favourite of the Python movies, in that it has a genuine cinematic feel to it while still retaining the creativity and willingness to be just plain weird that characterised the TV series at its best. King Arthur and his knights are sent by God to find the Holy Grail; various absurd adventures ensue. The Dark Ages prove a fruitful backdrop for the Pythons' brand of grotesque surrealism.
One of those films which has entered the collective consciousness of generations - 'Tis but a scratch!', the Knights who say 'Ni', the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and so on. Whether the film's willingness to totally rip up the cinema rulebook (opening with the titles from a completely different film, completely dispensing with a conventional ending) is inspired or just slightly annoying is probably up to the individual viewer, but this is the work of a team working at the height of their powers. Very, very funny.

The Lion King- such a classic. Its perfect, amazing, fantasic and phenomenal and than thier just had to remake last year, live action style because of $$$ and have beyonce voice one of the charcters and have a second soundtrack with rap stars??? Anyways, the songs are so excellent, you have... "Circle of Life", "I Just Cant Wait to be King", "Be Perpared", "Hakuna Matata" and "Can't You Feel The Love Tonight".

Simba returns as an adult (Matthew Broderick) to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella).

Early years education
As we are all spending our time at home & children's education is important, these may be worth your time.
As a parent myself I can assure you that although for an adult these can be mind numbing and rather boring, its good to know that there's tv to help home schooling.
Alphablocks is a British animated educational television programme that is designed to teach young children how to spell using animated blocks representing each letter. It is animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd.
Once the Alphablocks discover that whenever they make a word it comes to life, many new adventures in Alphaland can be created.
This is meant to help preschool children with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading and writing.
With it's bright colours & easy to understand dialogue, Alphablocks is a fun and intriguing show for kids.
