I truly am bummed we weren’t able to make it to any of the advanced screenings of RIO, a new animated family movie distributed by 20th Century Fox which hits theaters nationwide this Friday, April 15th. I usually give you my impressions of the movies I screen, but this time I’ll have to paste the description, as shared by the publicity team: From the makers of the hit ICE AGE series comes RIO, directed by Brazilian-native Carlos Saldanha, a comedy adventureRead More ...

Begin this activity by reading the children’s book El Piñatero/ The Piñata Maker by George Acona. Piñatas are found at almost every Mexican celebration. Traditionally they were in the shape of a six-pointed star and were filled with fruit, candy, and small toys. Today you can find them in all shapes, including animals, flowers, and popular characters. At fiestas, the piñata is hung in the air and children are blindfolded and take turns swinging at the piñatas.  Kids often singRead More ...

I’ve become a big fan of Barefoot Books for several reasons. First, I love that the variety of topics their books cover: from world cultures to monsters & magicians. Then, I love how they have a growing selection of books in Spanish and French. You might remember I wrote about their Bilingual Bear series at the beginning of the year. Navegamos a Galápagos: una semana en el Pacífico by Laurie Krebs falls under their category of travel and adventure. AsRead More ...

One of the disadvantages (or advantages, depending on how you look at things) of not having cable or satellite TV is that neither I nor my children are ever really up to date when it comes to new movies, TV series, games, toys and such. So I’m almost embarrassed to say that I didn’t know what HOP was until I was told we’d be getting an Easter basket filled with goodies from the movie! I went online and found theRead More ...

My tie for favorite animated movies last year was definitely between Toy Story 3 and Tangled.  I knew TS 3 was going to be good, but I was so pleasantly surprised that Tangled was as good as it is, and that Disney’s version of Rapunzel is a strong, willful and beautiful princess with 70-foot hair to tout. Tangled will finally hit stores on March 29, but Disney sent us an advanced copy of the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack last week; it’sRead More ...
