Delightful Day with a Dinosaur
The book features Danny, a young boy whose day in the museum gets much better when he meets a real Dinosaur. The two spend the day together, heading downtown, to the zoo, and finally spending some time playing with Danny’s neighborhood friends.
I remember enjoying this book as a kid, and it holds up well today. While there is really nothing in the way of plot, the pictures and words, sometimes more captions to the pictures than anything else, tell of a delightful day together for these two new friends. The pictures are a bit dated since the book came out in the 1950’s, but I doubt kids notice or care. Instead, they’ll be caught up in the fun of spending a day with a dinosaur, smiling and laughing at some of the situations along the way.

It becomes really confusing after a while
I disliked the main characters so didn’t really care what happened to them
This is a great premise. In a future world where you can only have one child a grandfather keeps sextuplets and calls them Monday-Sunday. They all have a day of the week that they are allowed outside but one day Monday disappears. The other sisters set about to find her before their secret is discovered.

I watched it on Netflix instead of listening to the podcast. I thought it was an interesting platform to share the stories and I enjoyed the authors stories. But I felt the LGBT scene was overly talked about, as was the sex. This seems to be normal in this day and age and is just a personal thing I don't care for. I did find it quite hilarious at times though.

I really like park builder games and obviously throwing in dinosaurs is even better!
Truthfully it gets a little repetitive as each island is the same general plan with a few changes to make it a slightly different challenge but it's not really.
At the end of the day I don't care though, it's dinosaurs!
I also downloaded the DLC which definitely added another layer

I love all the Toy Story movies, but I think this is the best one of the 4 movies. Andy is going off to college The toys are accidentally donated to a day care center run by an evil bear. Very funny story and I love the voice actors in the Toy Story movies, all great actors. What I love most about this movie is the ending, brought a tear to my eye.

I really enjoyed this book. The setting skips between present day, where a girl raised in foster care meets an elderly lady and finds they have a lot in common. The present day chapters are told in third person. The flashback chapters depicting the older lady's childhood is told in first person and spans from her early childhood to mid-twenties.
I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was very good. There were some parts that were heartbreaking and hard to listen to, but overall, the book was very well-written. There were a few parts of the plot I wish were different, but those parts are what made the book feel more realistic.

A Modern Classic
Very few albums manage to successfully capture the mentality of a generation and give so many people something to care about. This is what the Stone Roses did in 1989 with their eponymous debut album.
This album is more than just music, it is a feeling that was captured and put to music. Inspirational to no end and iconic to this day. An absolutely fantastic first album that deserves its legacy and is still relevant in today's musical landscape.

Amazingly magial
This film blew me away, it takes me a while usually to get emotional over a film. But not this one. Every song in the film is so powerful and will leave you close to tears (especially 'This Is Me') it shows that you should accept and love who you are no matter what you look like and the more you care for a person the more they can be your family no matter the background. I'd recommend to everyone any day
