I am super excited about Melody- As a American Girl fanatic myself- and cannot wait to watch this as well as Bookaboo! Review to come soon- but do not wait- watch and let us know how you like it!
“An American Girl Story – Melody 1963: Love Has To Win,” which releases on Amazon Prime Video Friday, October 21st. Melody is a fantastic role model- encouraging everyone to follow their dreams despite adversity. The special, which is Executive Produced by Common (Selma), is based in 1963 Detroit during the civil rights movement, yet has a profound relevance today and can be a great tool for parents to start a dialogue with their children. Please find the trailer here and let me know if I can provide a screening link in advance of its debut!
About the special: Based in 1963 Detroit during the civil rights movement, Melody centers around a 10-year-old girl Melody (Martin) whose eyes are opened to the racial inequality surrounding her, including the 1963 Birmingham Church Bombing. As a result, her belief in the “indivisible” promise of our country’s Pledge of Allegiance comes into question as she challenges her teacher on the validity of this given the horrific tragedy. After an emotional journey of self-reflection, her mother gives her the courage she needs by reminding her that it’s important to “stand up for what’s right, even when it’s hard or scary.” Melody will also star Frances Fisher (Titanic) as school teacher Miss Abbot, Frankie Faison (The Wire) as Melody’s grandfather Frank Ellison, and Idara Victor (Rizzoli & Isles) as Melody’s mother Frances Ellison.

" Bookaboo, the rockin’ new Amazon Original Kids Series, “takes to the stage” on Prime Video this Friday, October 28!
Already a full-fledged international hit, Bookaboo celebrates the fun and benefits of adults and children reading together. The series follows Bookaboo as he tours the globe with his bandmates Paws and Growler, playing drums to packed stadiums of adoring fans. There’s only one hitch – Bookaboo just can’t play without a story a day! The precocious pup finds creative ways to avoid performing, leading to laugh-out-loud comedy sketches and silly songs. To empower Bookaboo to return to the stage, a different famous face appears in each episode to share a favorite story. The picture book that each celebrity guest brings in the special “bookabag” is brought to vibrant life through animation and an interactive, energetic reading that restores Bookaboo’s “bojo.”
Other than Skylanders this is my favorite game to play with my kids. This year they are upping the anti with new characters, longer boards and more fun!
This is a gamers dream come true! I am so incredibly stocked to check this out!

Launches Dedicated Online Game, App Update and All-New Consumer Products Line
Inspired by Hit Preschool STEM Curriculum Series
Blaze and the Monster Machines

Also, May marks the launch of an all-new toy line inspired by the hit preschool series. Blaze and the Monster Machines follows the adventures of the amazing monster truck Blaze and his eight-year-old driver AJ, and it’s the first preschool show on TV to comprehensively cover all areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) in every episode. In 1Q15, Blaze was the number-two preschool series in Live+7 with posted increases of 64% behind Nick’s own PAW Patrol and it currently ranks as the number-one preschool show in its time period on all TV.
Spin Master has hit the mark with the new toy-to-game series Sick Bricks, bringing back one of my favorite teenage slang words "sick" (meaning cool), and oh, also the game is pretty cool as well.
No, stop, let me rephrase it--this game is awesome!!
The world is Sick City that is filled to the brim with Monsters, Aliens, Zombies, and all other crazy characters that are under attack by the evil Overlord Omega. It is your mission, if you choose to accept it, to stop Overlord Omega and his goons from ruining the once peaceful city of Sick. The game play mixes open world, platform, and simple yet addicting dungeon crawl aspects, meaning you can play in a multitude of ways. You can wander around and collect currency and bricks that help you rebuild the buildings around town. You will also encounter a bunch of goons that need to be defeated. If you go around trying to fulfill the random missions you will earn your way into different parts of the city that Omega has shut down. You will go into buildings and wander through maze-like rooms, fight evil foes and collect treasure, and defeat big bosses, all of this leading you closer to helping Sick City regain its once peaceful atmosphere.
