Sandra's View "Super cute But NO"

I love the fact, that all the toys are different. I love the cute movements they make. The witch walks, the snow people look like, they are skiing, the car moves fast and flips over, the dophin flips his tail and head. Most of the toys come broke. The ones, that weren't broke, become broke after you wind them up and let them move a bit. Don't waste your money. They are super cute, but pure junk. I am sending them all back:( very disappointed.

really cute, i don't like a few of the pages (the zoo and the egg page), they are a little too harsh for a kids book. but still cute

As a serious reader, I hate having any depictions of characters (on the covers- really anywhere on or in the book); it takes away from my imagination and the movie that plays in my head.  I found myself literally covering the photos with my hands while I read so that I wouldn't confuse my imagination with the author's visualization of the book.  My Derek looked more rugged and manly- less boyish and pretty.  And my Francine was more girl-next-door, cutie-pie pretty.
Anyway, I loved the photos themselves- really beautiful and classy; but as I reader I really, really hated them interspersed throughout the book.  Sorry.

The chocobo is adorable, buuut the book is super cheesy looking. I gave it as a gift, and we ended up cutting the book away and having an adorable plush.

I am a catlover.  I saw this book at the store and fell in love with the picture.  What an adorable cat!  I ignored the first rule of books - Don't judge a book by its cover.  I thought for sure this was going to be THE best book!
It was not terrible, but it did not live up to the cover.  I liked the story, and I fell in love Dewey!!  He really sounds like the perfect cat.  I liked that the author emphasized how important Dewey was by inserting details on the town and her own life.
However, I did not like how the author was so cheesy and sappy.  While I believe animals have a second sense, I do not think they can understand humans to the detail that the author was crediting Dewey.  I was getting tired of the repetitive descriptions of Dewey's actions (how many times do we have to read that he stuck to Jodi like white on rice?)  While I liked learning about Spencer (the town), I did not like the bragging about how humble EVERYONE in the town is (ironic, hunh?)
And oh, I love cats, and I may spoil them, but I do not cater to their every whim.  I pick out their food (not the cat), and there is NO way I would ever have the time to physically take the cat to his own litter box when he wants to go.  Vicki Myron paints herself and the librarians as the typical old cat ladies...

I feel like the outfit is not appropriate for the beach. Her sunglasses do not match the over all theme of the outfit. Her "cover up" is a skirt so it almost looks like she is going to dance class. All in all its not very appropriate for the beach but fun to play with

I'm a sucker for cute graphic-novels: My Little Pony, Grumpy Cat, Boo, Pusheen - I see them, and I just can't help myself. Cuteness is my kryptonite.

Boo, the World's Cutest Dog, was super popular a few years ago when his photos went viral. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing his adorable little face plastered across something. I remember this store got some of the dolls during the height of the craze, and they literally sold out a few hours after opening.

This graphic-novel has several stories, done by a number of artists and story-writers. There's no continuity: the only thing they have in common is that they're all about Boo and his friends.

Boo and the Birthday Bash: 

This story annoyed me. It's about a spoiled, bratty teenage girl on the day of her birthday. She throws a humongous tantrum when her pet dog gets more attention than she does at her party. The story ends in her favor. Obviously.

The Boo Over the Cuckoo's Nest: 

This story also annoyed me. Boo & his friends are afraid that they aren't going to get breakfast because their human is sick. They end up destroying the entire kitchen in their attempt to feed themselves. Bratty selfishness without consequence seems to be a motif in this collection.

Also, the title confuses me. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a very dark story about a psychiatric hospital. I wasn't really sure how it was relevant to this story line. Young children, who I am guessing are the target audience for this story collection, probably aren't going to get that reference.

Boovie Star: 

Weird story about Boo auditioning for a movie role. He's upset because he knows that if he gets the job, he won't see his friends all summer. Harmless, but boring. I wasn't a fan of this one, either.

Photo Shoot: 

This was the first story I actually liked. Boo keeps running into a very nervous chihuahua who chews up everything in sight when he's nervous. Gets bonus points for no bad Boo-puns in the title.

Cloak and Dog-ger: 

Ouch. That pun. *winces* This story is proof that dogs would make the worst secret agents ever. Kind of remind me of Cats & Dogs (2001). Any of you remember seeing that movie?

Walk in the Park: 

Boo is so desperate for his cookie fix that he begins hallucinating cookies everywhere in the park. Disturbing for two reasons: 1) seems to be alluding to addiction and 2) the cookies in question are chocolate-chip cookies, and you definitely shouldn't be feeding those to your dogs.

It's Dog-Squatch: 

This one was ok, too. Boo & friends are camping and telling spooky stories, when suddenly they think they're being stalked by the dog-squatch. Twist ending.

Crazy Sunday: 

Boo is kidnapped by this rich guy who wants to be King of Instagram, basically, only to escape and meet Scooby Doo parodies and Wizard of Oz parodies. Ends almost identically to Cloak and Dog-ger. "Crazy Sunday" is right - this plot was messed up in a bad Christmas special kind of way.

After Crazy Sunday, we're treated to Boo's diary entries and then a cover gallery.

This Boo graphic-novel was disappointing. I loved the cover gallery and the art was cute, but all the stories seemed very lazily-written. I kind of got the impression that whoever created this was expecting Boo's cuteness and fame to sell copies regardless of whether or not the writing was good. They really ought to take a page from the My Little Pony fandom and write clever, engaging story lines that appeal to both young and old with clever pop-culture references and good characterization.

Thanks to Netgalley/the publisher for the review copy!

1 out of 5 stars.

Synopsis: Jessica's idol Johnny Buck is coming to sweet Valley for a concert, but the twins are not allowed to go see it because they are not old enough. Jessica is determined to go to the concert no matter what, and thinks of a way to get the money for tickets.

She sees an advertisement at Casey's about someone watching Mrs. Bramble's dog for three days. Even though Jessica is terrified of dogs, she takes up the offer as an attempt to get quick cash, and successfully gets the job and receives her money in advance. However, once she gets home, Jessica doesn't spend any time with Sally (the dog) and requests the other Wakefields to do it.

At the day of the concert, Jessica is ready to leave when Mrs. Bramble phones her and mentions that she would be coming to pick Sally around the same time as the concert. Jessica doesn't know what to do, so she ties Sally up to the tree in their yard and leaves. Needless to say, Sally escapes and Elizabeth tries to find out where Sally ran off. Apart from this, Jessica realizes the concert is not as grand as she thought it would be and ends up having a horrible time there. Will Jessica be able to fix the mess she has gotten herself into?

Review: I actually felt sorry for Jessica in this book. No matter what trouble she caused for everyone to go see the concert, I felt bad when she was humiliated, rejected, and guilty that she did not live up to her responsibilities. There were also some parts in this book that made me laugh out loud, such as when Steven overhears Liz giving tips to Jessica about Sally, and assumes they are talking about boyfriends.

The only part where I thought the story would have been written better was if Mrs. Bramble had given a more severe punishment to Jessica for causing her all the grief of making her run around town looking for Sally. Mrs. Bramble seemed a little too understanding and I didn't think her punishment did justice to what Jessica did.

Nevertheless, this was a really fun book to read. If you want to see Jessica get punished for her schemes, you will enjoy this one.

we love her books (yay) and we love dinosaurs (yay) so i thought for sure this one would be perfect. it sadly wasnt. the herbivores are happy, loving dinos while the carnivores are hateful, mean ones. animals eat what they eat, they aren't good or bad because of it but i brushed this off as they could look villainous to the dinos they eat, sure. they chant up with hunting, up with war which was just odd. im not sure what dinos have to do with war. for rhyming purposes she could have done more... i feel like that would fit better. then when drip makes it back to his real family, it could have ended nice there. instead his tyrannosaurus rex family came over via a fallen tree to eat them. as his sisters (he actually called them sisters) see their evil reflection, they get scared. so i thought she was going to end it on them not realizing how scary they were and becoming nice, which isn't a great ending either because i mean they have to eat... but no, they all look at their reflections and get scared and when the dad does, he breaks the log and they fall into the water. my 6 year old looked at the book and back at me and said but there were kids on there... definitely the first and hopefully the last of her books to disappoint us all because we love her work! but this one was a flop.

I try really hard to give my most honest opinion when reviewing products. But I always feel guilty when giving poor reviews! Unfortunately, these just weren't that great. I will say they are very cute! Adorable really. I purchased these for my daughter as part of her Birthday gift. She is in love with cats and I thought she would go nuts for these. Looking at them in the plastic wrapping I was excited because of how cute they were. But once I took them out I was a bit disappointed. The fuzziness was a bit rough to the touch, not really soft, and the metal was pretty stiff. But I thought my daughter probably wouldn't care, so I gave them to her anyways. After about 2 minutes of her wearing them, she started hollering that she was in pain! The metal was squeezing her head so hard she took it off right away. I tried to bend it outward to make it bigger (which didn't really make sense bc she is 6 and has a little head). I put it on her again, and it didn't help one bit. I thought maybe she was overreacting, so I tried it on myself, and it was terrible. I tried each one, hoping that maybe it was just a bad headband, but they all did the same thing. I was bummed that I not only wasted my money, but I had to put them up and couldn't give them to my daughter. Overall, these are a no-go....unless you have a head of steel!

Big Hollywood voice actors? Check. Cute animals on front cover? Check.

You would think this looks like a cute kid friendly movie based on the blurb on the back cover and the artwork. Sadly this move is none of these things.

This is a Bollywood movie, so it's possible some things got lost in translation. What this movie has is a sad message of humanity killing off animals and their habitats. It also has a very violent monkey (not kid appropriate by any means). I do not mind movies with an enviomental message provided they are done in a way that doesn't involve characters resorting to name calling and threating to kill or hurt (the monkey tries many times to hurt or kill the equally annoying parrot,not to mention the killer hyenas and bees/wasps) other characters.

Yes an enviromental message is a good one, but this movie really did a horrible job at presenting it. This is most certaintly not for a young audience.

I love Hello Kitty! I wanted to introduce her to my daughter, and so I was so happy to have found this video before Christmas.
 But, like a few of the other reviewers..I was VERY disappointed they brought up the concept that Santa isn't real!!
 For the little ones who aren't even beginning to think he isn't real, this could plant that very idea in thier head. Granted, it all works out in the end, and Santa is proven to be real by Kitty and Mimi...but still...I don't like that they even mentioned that Santa may not be real.
 My daughter is too young to realize what they were talking about, but if she were a bit older, I think she would have been asking me questions about it..and then I would have been even more mad!!
 I would say that kids over 7 or so could understand this video, but don't show it to the younger and still innocent set!! It may jade thier minds!
 I will say if it wasn't for the "I don't believe in Santa" factor..I would have loved this video. The rest of it was very cute.
 I hope Sanrio comes out with a better Christmas Hello Kitty video! For now I will just be buying another Hello Kitty video, and putting this one away for a long, long time.

So everyone likes looking cute. Well every girl for the most part. Myself included. But girls, let me tell you. This thing gets caught on EVERYTHING. My shirts- attacked by it! The little chains holding the leaf and blue beads on aren't strong at all. While this is cute, it hurts at times to sit down with it as the leaf is pokey- cute but pokey. So just keep that in mind if you are going to buy this. I probably wouldn't buy this again just because the flimsy chain holding the leaf on and the pokiness. And the price also isn't very justified as it costs a lot for such a small charm that is poorly made. But as for cuteness, I will say it looks really good! And the steel is a bonus as it doesn't react with my sensitive skin- I have eczema pretty badly, so the less reactive the metal the better!  As a longtime Amazon customer, I rely on reviews from the Amazon community when making buying decisions. That being said, I only believe in giving honest and unbiased reviews.

This is a super cute style, but I have nicknamed them the "sausage foot sandal".

I wear normal width very happily in almost all shoes. I ordered a wide because the reviews said they were narrow. This was an inadequate description as my foot fat was slopping over the sides. If you have narrow feet I can imagine these would be a god send, however, if you have normal feet and value your self esteem I would pass them up.

One woman's opinion.

The cover is super cute, my toddler likes the eyeballs! But the interior pictures are pretty freaky looking! If I were a toddler they'd give me nightmares
