I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable intro to Stephen Hawking. No, it does not go on nto detail about his personal relationships. It's a kid's book.
  
I reread this kid's book about a young boy who sets out to rescue a dragon from Wild Island. It's fun for kids of all ages.

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

2021 | Animation, Family
To Be Honest, I liked Raya a lot. However, it serves more like a kid's movie than anything else. Disney is too afraid to actually dig into any of the themes they presented, which hurts this film. Great movie for children, but too shallow for Adults.

A kid's picture book about a neighborhood sleuth. Here, he searches for Annie's missing painting of her dog. Humor for adults and a mystery that kids can solve make this a winner.

Great Family Film
My four-year-old goes to just about every children's movie that comes out. While this was nowhere near the best kid's movie this holiday season (that honor goes to Coco in my kid's opinion), it was a fun story with quite a bit of humor. The character development was minimal, the friendships were minimal, and the topic of bull fighting seems outdated. On the flip side it wasn't only my kid that enjoyed himself, every kid in the theater roared with laughter when the horses and bulls had a dance off. We will definitely be buying this movie, and it will probably get more play time than our copy of Coco until my son gets older.

Fantastic Voice Acting
A Wild Time
Disney animation movies are getting almost as good as Pixar's. As a follow up to Frozen, Disney knock it out of the park again in terms of producing a brilliant kids movie that people of any age can enjoy. Amazing animation, a tight script and well implemented voice acting make for another modern classic kid's movie.

Ramona is thrilled to finally be starting kindergarten. But the first year of school is filled with all kinds of trials for the anxious kid. This kid's book is just as funny and tender as I remembered. Well worth a read or reread no matter what age you are.
