This was a sweet book. It's great for children and parents of little boys and girls. It rhymes a bit. Young readers could read this book. It's best for children.
I love the pictures in the book. They're worth looking at. The author did a wonderful job with the images. They are so realistic and pulls the readers into the book. If you are an animal lover or your child is into animals and want to get them settled down then this is the book for them.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BEAR HUG I am going to give you a bear hug, is a sweet adorable book. It has some rhymes in the book. It has animals and their cubs. This is good bedtime book for young readers. Young Readers could learn to read of this book as well.
It is done well. The pictures are well drawn. The pictures can tell the story themselves. It about giving a big hug and getting ready for bed.

An absurd collection of tabloid-style articles that marries folklore, fairytales, and nursery rhymes with the issues of everyday life. From Rumplestiltskin being indicted for the straw-to-gold scandal to the sibling drama of the three little pigs, with headlines such as “Game-Changing Name Change for Rumplestiltskin” and “Wolf Suing Pigs for Injuries Sustained” you’re sure to be entertained.
As a lifelong fan of classic fairytales, I found myself laughing out loud as beloved characters were used to mock and poke fun at real-world issues.

Sadly a dud.
Opening with a somewhat controversial sequence of Michael stalking Laurie Strode, I personally enjoy the opening scenes. But after that, it's all downhill.
Halloween Resurrection features a terrible cast, while some do their best, others are dreadful. It's lead by Busta Rhymes who's overtop acting mixes terribly with the worst character in the movie. Bianca Kajlich is the final girl, and she's a pretty average one at that.
On another upside, this movie does feature some cool camera work, utilizing head cams.
Overall though, Halloween Resurrection is an average slasher, with some terrible characters, not recommended.

I Love a Book is done well. I love the pictures and it keeps me fantastic. Young Children would love looking at the pictures for hours. It would keep them to turning the page. The story is sweet as well. I believe it rhymes and make it more of a poem for parts of it.
The author does a wonderfully with it. It also might about the author when he was a young boy. You have young children that love books will this book talk about books throughout. It great for readers and parents but also for children that want learn about books a bit as well.

Introducing reality TV star Michael Myers!
Some people were turned off by the different style and almost humorous take on the ongoing Michael saga, but I thought it was a pleasant surprise.
Inject more young, fun actors like Busta Rhymes, Katee Sackhoff, Thomas Ian Nicholas and even Tyra Banks and what you have is a masterpiece of horror (not really, but at least something a little different).
Interesting idea to place a bunch of unknowns in Michael's childhood home as part of a reality show and watch the calamity ensue when bad things start to happen (and then the real Michael shows up).
Seems like I enjoyed more than most.

King Britram has a difficult job keeping his kingdom from flooding, so he works all the time. The only break he takes is to walk on stilts, but one of his advisers doesn’t think that hobby is very kingly. What will happen when those stilts disappear?
This is a lesser known Dr. Seuss book, and that is a shame. It is definitely early Seuss with no rhymes and lots of words on each page, but older pre-schoolers who have the attention span for it will enjoy it because it contains the typical Seuss fun and imagination. Plus there’s a good moral in the story about balancing things in life.

As expected, there was nothing new to see here. The Grinch is one of my favorite Christmas stories, so I had to see this one.
This film reverted back to the original story, in contrast to the film in the early 2000s, where the commercialism was downplayed. There were some unnecessary plot points, and the Grinch was more mildly annoyed with Christmas. Benedict Cumberbatch was kind of perfect for the voice part and he was, by far, the most entertaining. I could have lived without the whole Cindy-Lou Who plot line, but I guess it had to be in there to stretch the story out to nearly 90 minutes. Again , another unnecessary remake, but I still enjoyed it.
