Are you shopping for Halloween theme books for your child or children? Well. “The Costume Contest” by Roger Carlson is a good one to have on your child’s bookshelves. It deals with Halloween, and it also helps with cooperation and conflict solution.
We meet Aaron and Ava for this story. The story behind this is sweet. Will Aaron help his little sister out with her costume and the contest? You will see that Aaron wants to be something different for Halloween? But did Aaron promise to be a cat with Ava or not?
Children will learn about conflict solutions and solving problems through cooperation. I like how the two kids figure out their trick-or-treating costumes between themselves, though with parents’ support. What does Aaron decide to do?
The author put this story on Halloween, focused on friendship, and saw what happens when they trick-treating. Who ends up willing to participate in the costume contest? The pictures are so colorful. Are the different costumes you see while Aaron and Ava are trick or treating? This book is a sweet story and has a few teaching lessons through the book.
Parents will enjoy having this book on their shelves. Children will want to read this book again and again. It is suitable for the Halloween season, along with some teachable lessons for children.

Jan 8, 2018
What a stunning, epic tale. A collection of lives, a group of souls described as a jati, wending their way across the centuries of an alternate history.
What if the western / European world was wiped out completely in the 14th century instead of only 1/3rd of the population? Kim Stanley Robinson vividly imagines the stages of life and consequences to the world. The rise and spread of Islam instead of Christianity. The different minds who would awaken to the natural sciences. The empire building of China into the New World. The continuation of Native American cultures through their cooperation and shared values.
Dystopian historical science fiction with serious questions of religion, philosophy, and sociopolitical theories expertly woven together.

Hazycoot (15 KP) rated Mysterium in Tabletop Games
Mar 31, 2019 (Updated Apr 26, 2019)
Much like clue this is a murder mystery game, though there is a twist, the ghost of the victim gives you clues in the form of visions. The ghost is not allowed to talk to the other players except to tell them whether they are right or not. It is on the longer side and can be quite frustrating depending on the visions the ghost gives out. Each other player follows the path of a specific suspect to find what room they were in and what weapon they had access to, the game encourages cooperation between players but does not require it
Sarah (7798 KP) rated LEGO Harry Potter Collection in Video Games

Lots of fun and very entertaining
You can't really beat the Lego games. They're so much fun and it's hilarious to watch your favourite films immortalised in brick form. The Lego Harry Potter collection is no different.
Visually it looks fantastic and there's lots to keep you busy during each level. To the point where there's almost too much to do. It's fun to play alone and with someone else, a game where you don't want to kill the other person who's playing with you - instead cooperation is the key! My only criticism is that it gets a bit frustrating that you can't do everything in a level until you've completed the entire game and gone back to play with all of your unlocked characters. A little time consuming!

Real cooperation
Exciting, lots of surprises every campaign

Adding steps to the mechanics of the game can make you forget some things
The best experience we had on a table
The famous Pandemic cooperative game about saving the world from epidemic disease with a Legacy twist, which means, playing a campaign where new goals, rules, characters, skills will be added and lost along the game.
We loved the tension and the rewarding feeling when we won.
The game is full of surprises. The box includes some mystery boxes and a bunch of dossiers that you can only open as you advance with the campaign.
The storyline is interesting and we'll balanced. You will get help if you keep losing, and things will get more challenging if you keep winning.
