As I listen to them they make learning fun for a child of any age! With their funny songs they leave your children not knowing they're learning something from these songs, but they are. Your children will be dancing  along with the music as they learn so much!

It was better than the first book - more complex and much more character development, while maintaining a reasonable level of action.  I was distressed at some of the physics.  They are throwing rail-gun slugs at each other from thousands of kilometers apart - times of flight over two minutes - but supposedly they cannot get a ship that can accelerate at several Gs out of the way in 2 minutes. That would mean that the group of slugs coming at a ship would be miles wide, and contain millions of slugs. It would appear improbable that a ship could carry that much ammo, or throw that kind of pattern. There are other nits to pick, but mostly I enjoyed the book and will buy the third in the series when it is published.

Four stars due to the monkeys not sticking as well as I would like them to but other then that I loved them. I wouldnt suggest these over a babys crib either due to possible suffication!

Beautiful animals. Oddly, had an issue-with both shipments, however, enough survived that I should have a decent colony-and added bonus, got about 15 shrimplets in the bag that seem to be doing better than the adults! The ones that made it are the reddest cherry shrimp I've ever seen except the lone male that survived-and he's pretty red for a male.

As others have stated it tastes a little different from banana runs but close enough if you're not too discriminating. I ate them probably a 1/4 at a time I love them so much. But, as others have also mentioned, perhaps every 1/3 pound I'd get a runt that tasted like vomit. As if some flavoring chemical had saturated the candy to the core. It would leave such an acride taste in mouth, I'd tell myself, "NO MORE BANANA CANDY!"  Then the next day I'd be back again. Lol.
 So, a great value but that one in a thousand rotten banana candy really makes me leary at getting this again. I may try another brand that doesn't report that foul errant banana.

I am Batman. For years, I have put millions of dollars into researching new ultra-banana cutting technology, but never understood the complex infrastructure of the Chiquita banana. Then one night, Alfred served me perfectly cut bananas. I was so confused because it only took him 3 seconds to slice them. Then he told me about the Hutzler Banana slicer. I'm so infuriated that I threw millions of dollars into research when all I needed to do was buy a $3 banana slicer on Amazon. Now I'm behind on my bat cycle construction, and I need to fix the electrical systems in the bat cave. BTW:  Batarangs don't do a very good job at slicing bananas.

This book is one of a series about kids saving the world
from alien slugs that take over people's bodies
through their ears.
The group of young teenagers have been given the ability
to morph into different animals once they acquire their DNA.
I kind of like these books,
but they are pretty light on science.

Got these after watching a Dr. Oz show.  The audience member who ate them said they tasted like bananas.  Excuse me?  They do have a very green flavor.  They are about the size of a quarter and are crisp, but chewy once you get a chuck in your mouth.  They have some sesame seeds in them, I think (hope?).  They are edible...just.  I suppose since they are good for you, they are worth devouring.  I would try to find something with a stronger flavor to eat one or two with.  Maybe Spicy V8 or along with a plate of really hot buffalo wings...but why ruin the wings.  Just find a way to get them down.  Definitely buy ONE bag to try before you go for a bulk rate shipment.  Guess what my health food friends are getting as part of their Christmas Goody packages?  :^)

This is one ddball series - the first in the series was just okay but after that, they seem to realize - there are about another thousand great samba tracks - maybe we ought to go with some the better ones so for #4 add another star! Not much to say more about the sexiest music on the planet and transport you to the beaches of Brazil - all great!

Skeeter season is almost here. Last year in Mesa AZ we were eaten alive. I vowed this year to end the madness. Surrounding neighbors are raking up all leaves and draining any wetland areas along with turning planter saucers upside down so non water collect. Garbage pails have lids or are turned upside down. Hoping this product will help everyone in the vicinity. You will need attractant. So far I am hearing more zappy sounds in the evening . Night night to the blood suckers.

I found Volume 5 of Monster Musume to be one of the best.  Kimihito has new issues in his life.  Somebody is sending threatening letters.  Papi tries to help a fellow monster girl with wildly disastrous results and as for how that gets resolved, I found myself wondering if Okayado saw Woody Allen's film "Bananas" and recalled the scene about treating snakebite.  There are some new girls, including a cute but nasty devil named Lilith who loves to stir up trouble.  Lilith finds herself getting punished by both Rachnee and exercise fanatic Polt (I think Lilith much preferred Rachnee's idea of discipline).  At the end, it looks like yet another female is about to make her way into the story.  While Monster Musume is definitely not for kids or the more prudish, it is a wonderful piece of naughty farce.

This is a great game and very hard to find now.  The story line is you are going to regain the banana hoard that Kremlin took.  The levels are difficult yet fun and the grafics are very pleasing. The fun music and bad guys make it on the level of Mario.  The key feature is that you have two characters that can switch or if one dies the other will continue the mission alone.

Being badly injured in the last battle, the Nadesico is taking a break by broadcasting a children's TV show on how the Nadesico functions. The Nadesico ends up finding the Crocus, one of the ships sucked into a Chulip on earth. The admiral of the Nadesico goes aboard the Crocus and orders for the Nadesico to go through the Chulip or he will fire at the Nadesico. Just then, the Jovians attack. The Nadesico embarks inside the Chulip while the admiral goes down with the Crocus. The Nadesico arrives on the other end of the Chulip which is right near the earth which is also in the middle of a battle. While Akito, Yurika and Inez are sleeping together in the recreation center, Ruri wakes Yurika up and the Nadesico wins the battle. It took the Chulip 8 months to transport the Nadesico to the other end, so a lot has happened. The Nadesico now agrees to help defend the earth for awhile. The Nadesico docks on the ship known as the Cosmos and recieve a new pilot, Akatski. The five pilots head out to fight the Jovians again and Akito gets lost in space. Yurika and Megumi goes after him, but end up being stuck with Akito lost again. Fortunetely, the Nadesico interveins. This volume was very fast and exciting. The love between Yurika to Akito, Megumi to Akito, Inez to Akito, Jun to Yurika is just too funny. This volume also explains a little more about Akito's past. Its just too good. You have to see this show!

My daughter is almost seven and she loves this show. She wants a Slugterra birthday party! She likes how the slugs in the show require being treated humanely (unlike the ghoul slugs which need healing) and she likes how the slugs just want to be hard workers and do what it is they know how to do. She is so thrilled and excited when a slug hits 100 miles per hour and reaches its potential for greatness. Good thing they have "Trixie" in the Shane Gang so the girls have someone to identify with. Trixie will come on and my daughter will say "watch" as if something terribly important is happening. Although this show does have slug shooter things that look like guns the real power the show has for my girl is the power of transformation, cooperation, and the possibility of healing for those we might otherwise give up on. Way to go, Slugterra!

The Creeps: Carol (Hacker extraordinaire), Mitchell (Monster expert), Jarvis (Gadget wizard) and Rosario( Super-ripped fashionista) are apart of a crime-solving squad at their Pumpkins County Middle School. These students and classmates like to solve spooky mysteries. The Creeps use their unique talents and humor throughout this funny action-packed graphic novel to find out who's responsible for the missing frog specimens that are intended to be dissected in their science class project.
One of my favorite parts is the investigation of Perry Milburn who was the only sixth grader to ever win first place at the state science fair. The Creeps felt he could be a suspect in the disappearance of the school's frogs. Perry went missing after losing his title two years later and is believed to be maintaining a secret laboratory in the sewers using old discarded school equipment for mysterious experiments.
I really enjoyed the reading. This fictional book was entertaining from beginning to end. The story and characters are well developed. The author does a great job of building suspense, and keeping the reader guessing. I'm giving a rating of five stars and feel parents and kids of all ages will feel the same.

My experience with Josh's Frogs has been mostly positive. I did receive one shipment where are all the crickets were dead but the temperature did drop extremely low on the night they were in transit. Josh's Frogs quickly sent out a new batch and all was well. Some other shipments have had several that didn't make the trip but that's few and far between. The reviews that mention the cricket smelling or eating themselves are both true, however, Ive purchase Crickets at a half a dozen places and it's the nature of the Beast. Give them some food  and a bit of gel and they'll last longer. These crickets aren't the cheapest you'll find but it's the convenience that makes me by returning customer

Living in the wet Pacific Northwest, we have more than our share of slugs.  We've used Corry's and while it's very effective, it's a powder that is difficult to control out of the bag and is in the air that I breathe as I use it -- not ideal.  Still less ideal is that Corry's doesn't work against the smaller, gray slugs that are difficult to see and do so much damage.  I use Deadline against these rapacious, clever little beasts and while it works, we store it outside, it coagulates, and has to be shaken repeatedly to get it out of the bottle, the nozzle becomes blocked, etc.

These Miracle-Gro granules seem to work very well against all types of slugs I've seen in my garden.  The granules are easy to distribute out of the canister (broadcast the grains on moist soil in the evening for best results) and there's no mess and no frustrating thick, dried liquid and no powder to have to breathe.  Dead slugs!  And slugs have slinked away to die!  The tender new leaves appearing on my hostas and other plants are fine, so it appears that I have applied it at just the right time.

The label confirms that there is a lag between ingestion and death but that the physiological effect on the slugs and snails is that they stop feeding immediately, so plants are protected immediately even though the pests remain in the area.  This is a pesticide, so the normal cautions should be heeded such as washing one's hands after use, be careful of pets, etc.

Recommended.
