Bucky The Buckle Toy review and giveaway! CLOSED

This last year my family and I took several long road trips. Although the vacations alone were fantastic, the drive did not go as smooth. It is very hard entertaining two little ones. Even the shortest drive can lead to a major headache when my two children are in the backseat. This is why I am constantly on the look out for toys, books or activities that are easy to travel with.

Let me introduce to you "Bucky The Buckle Toy". This is a soft plush turtle which keeps your child entertained with it's interactive features. "Bucky" includes fun buckles, colors and shapes.

"Bucky The Buckle Toy's" makers say, "Playing with the child-friendly buckles and zipper improves hand-eye coordination and promotes small motor skills. The toy also has a variety of shapes and colors to enhance learning".

Review:
This is a great toy for children under the age of 4, especially for children who enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together again. Both my daughter and son have always been entertained by zippers and buckles. I have to say though, Bucky the Buckle Toy beats any shopping cart buckle, which has been known to keep my children's attention. My daughter has really enjoyed this adorable turtle. It is great for entertaining children on the road and off. Don't forget to take Bucky along with you to doctor appointments and shopping trips.

Adventures of Meno review and giveaway! CLOSED

I think I have one of the largest collections of children's books. I am constanly adding to our collection and recently I added two new books. These books are from the series of "Adventure of Meno". Here is a little more on this series and the authors.

"This six-book series about Meno, a nostalgically modern space-elf and his out-of-this-world adventures. Adventure of Meno was created by award winning author/illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi and his wife Angela. Each story is told with bright illustrations in nonsensical language, as if it were translated from Meno's Alien language into English. As childlike as they are sweet, these stories find humor in the simplest places, and are a delight to readers both young and old.

Review:
I am in love with the pictures in the Adventure of Meno series. Meno and his friends are adorable charactors. As for the story itself, my children really enjoy it. They both think Meno is a very funny. They laugh at his all of his friends and their silly names. Their favorite book is Book Two, "Wet Friend". They love all the different creatures and friends introduced in this book are so funny.

I also want to recommend that you and your child check out the official Meno site WWW.PLANETMENO.COM for more info on Meno and interactive activities.

Buy It:
You can purchase your own copies of Adventure Of Meno for $9.99 each at Borders.com

Upcoming Releases:
Two more books in the series "UH-OH SICK!" AND "YUMMY TRIP!" are set to be released on April 6, 2010.

Giveaway:
One lucky winner will win both of the "Adventure Of Meno" books (BIG FUN and WET FRIEND) as well as your choice of a custom made Meno or Wishi blanket.
