when i first recieved the party game

Friday, May 16th, 2008

she absolutely loves this party game! she is facinated by it! great choice for the curious types!
This is a great little party game for getting little ones excited about There’s a different sound for each page, which is really fun. :

I thought that each of the pictures would have a sound to have the children associate the picture with. Such as the ghost says, “Boo.” But instead, it was just random sounds. So if you are trying to teach a preschooler language, I would not recommend this party game. …

I love this particular party theme.

I play this in the car as soon as October hits and it gets us really excited about
My girls, ages 5 and 6, LOVE this cd. We keep it in our car during the month of October and it puts us all in the mood! When I purchased it a few years ago there was only a tape, so now I’m buying it again for the CD!

I bought this CD for our children as a surprise one Friday afternoon. They love the catchy tunes. It is a fun lyrical CD our older kids have listened to it every morning for the last week while they are getting ready for school. Great fun kids music for the price! …

In the second of the “Merlin Missions”

Friday, May 9th, 2008

One wonders why Merlin can’t handle this sort of thing himself, but then of course we wouldn’t get a chance to see Jack and Annie have another seat of the pants adventure, getting mixed up with shape shifting magic, armies of birds, a puzzling gem of power, and all sorts of other trouble. With the help of their old pal Teddy Morgan le Fay’s apprentice, last seen in dog form in four earlier Tree House stories , the two “Master Librarians and Magicians of Everyday Magic” must solve the mystery behind a castle full of ghosts and a menacing army of ravens. Not surprisingly, half the trouble comes in unraveling Merlin’s riddles and helping Teddy use his rhyming magic correctly.

Osborne doesn’t challenge readers overmuch including the constant restatement of plot elements, perhaps worried that kids might otherwise forget or lose interest and many parts of the story barely convince like Teddy’s “period” dialogue, e.g., “‘Tis cool indeed” , but fans of the Magic Tree House will no d …

First, the good things about this little party game, and there are several.

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

The main character, a little bear named Corduroy is as sweet as can be and is very selfless and compassionate when he discovers that one of his friends does not have a costume for the party. Good hearted Corduroy promptly gives up his own costume that he has painstakingly produced for himself. In the end, this clever Corduroy comes up with an alternative for himself by whisking the soiled tablecloth off the party table. It’s a nice story, although not very exciting in any way, and very little kids will probably enjoy it. Now, for the faults and there are few. This party game is BASED ON the Corduroy stories written and illustrated by the late Don Freeman, a wonderfully talented and original writer and artist.

The Corduroy in this party game is most decidedly NOT the Corduroy we have come to love in Don Freeman’s party games. He lacks the depth of expression, the curiosity and hapless penchant for troubles that our beloved Corduroy, born in 1968, has. This Corduroy is more like a C …
