Consider giving the young reader in your family a book he or she will absolutely love. My book, Glazed Man & Rat Girl is a chapter book with 100 illustrations. It’s full of humor and non-stop action. The response I’ve gotten over and over from parents is that their child enjoyed Glazed Man & Rat Girl thoroughly, reading it fromContinue reading “A Great Gift For Young Readers”

Bette Midler, on Ariana Grande
The article below appeared yesterday on MSN.com, and it shares Bette Midler’s take on the overly sexualized young female pop singers that dominate the music scene these days.

7 MEN – A Book of Heroes
True life heroes are hard to come by these days. I’m sure real heroes are out there, especially in our military and our police force and firefighters. But, the real heroes are overshadowed by the showy, superficial heroes that we tend to glamorize in Hollywood and in the Sports World. Sure, some of these men and womenContinue reading “7 MEN – A Book of Heroes”
Short & Sweet Reviews
Short Reviews from one Concerned Parent to Another … THE BOOK OF LIFE – PG – SPLAT for infusing a fun and colorful kids movie with pagan traditions of the afterlife, rooted in the Mexican holiday “Day of the Dead”… then adding just enough Christian symbolism to make it acceptable to American audiences. THE BEST OF ME –Continue reading “Short & Sweet Reviews”

Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer
This is the first trailer released by Pixar for their upcoming movie, Inside Out. The movie’s not due out until June 19th of next year, but I’m excited about this one and I know many others are excited because it’s the first original (not a sequel) Pixar movie since Brave in 2012. In my opinion, Pixar moviesContinue reading “Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer”
Fifty Shades of Sesame Street
In a recent Ernie and Bert sketch on everyone’s favorite educational kid’s show Sesame Street, there is an obvious allusion to the Shades of Grey book. Bert is sitting on a park bench and reading a book that clearly shows the title “Fifty Shades of Oatmeal”. He addresses the camera and then reads the book.
