Given the title of this book I thought it would be far more fun than it was. It was actually kind of terrifying for kids I think. Or at least for the 4 year old I read it to. I had to keep editing a little because it deals with Alzheimers and really rough treatmentContinue reading “Grandpa’s Great Escape–David Walliams”

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing–Judy Blume
This book is dear to me only because I read it to my little cousin and he not only enjoyed the antics, but it kind of reminded me that he is an extra special little guy. In that he’s articulate and does not throw tantrums the likes of this kids little brother Fudge. In fact,Continue reading “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing–Judy Blume”
The Roald Dahl Collection
Fantastic Mr. Fox Admittedly, I didn’t know Roald Dahl even wrote this. I thought it came from the likes of someone with a twisted mind like Tim Burton. Well, given what his other books, I wasn’t totally wrong. This book was good, but had some serious darkness in it. I didn’t like reading to theContinue reading “The Roald Dahl Collection”
George’s Marvellous Medicine–Roald Dahl
Sigh. Here’s another interesting book by Roald Dahl. And wildly inappropriate for a kid. I have to keep reminding myself that these are not meant for Daryl’s age group (Being 3 years old.) . That they are meant for older kids. But I also don’t appreciate what this one was saying to that age groupContinue reading “George’s Marvellous Medicine–Roald Dahl”
Happy Halloween!
Tonight I will be watching the “parade” of kids that come in to my moms house because she has a literal buffet for them to pick from, and try to contain my dogs anxiety while also watching something scary and pilfering Reese’s pieces with my little sister. Hope everyone had a safe weekend of partyingContinue reading “Happy Halloween!”

The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me—Roald Dahl This book was short and sweet and so will this review be: This was about a little boy who was introduced to his new neighbours: a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey. They had just moved in and were renovating a house to be their business. They wereContinue reading “Roald Dahl”
The BFG–Roald Dahl
The kid and I have moved on from short baby stories for the soul purpose of helping me to not keep reading the same story over and over again at nap time. Thus taking us over to his sisters collection of Roald Dahl books that I thought would be a safe bet when reading toContinue reading “The BFG–Roald Dahl”
Matilda–Roald Dahl
The kid and I, well mostly me, decided to start reading all the Roald Dahl books in his sisters room after I had read the Disney stories until I could barf. (And I love Disney stories.) I basically knew the entire thing cover to cover, and it had pictures, and it was heavy to hold,Continue reading “Matilda–Roald Dahl”
Peter Pan–J.M. Barrie
I think I’m Captain Hook. I was very excited to finally reach this book on my shelf, it has been a long time coming. But then something happened where, as a self-proclaimed child and fancifier of ridiculousness, I’m embarrassed to admit: I’m an adult. And I found Peter to be a bit of a dick.Continue reading “Peter Pan–J.M. Barrie”
Keep Moving Forward: Adulting
Last week I promised you a topic that I had a brief discussion with my piano teacher about, something that I find pretty interesting, and a double Keep Moving Forward this week was mentioned. So here we go! We were talking about being adults. I shall also be renaming my teacher…Giles. Not because he isContinue reading “Keep Moving Forward: Adulting”
