Each episode teaches a life lesson young viewe...

Hi, all! Hi, kids! Sorry for the lack of post in a long while, despite me promising so. I'll try my best and get the next post out in June and then keep going regularly. With that out of the way, let's get straight to the review! FINAL THOUGHTS  QuadraPop is a classic Tetris-style mobile game where the player rotates and moves coloured notes falling from above in pairs in order to stack them on top of each other, after which they pop. The game doesn't follow any elaborate plot. First, the gameplay, while rather simple, is fun and allows the player to relax and enjoy their experience. There are also many versions of the game available, where sea creatures, jewels or robota can be stacked on pairs and then pop. Again, whi...

  Before we start... Hi everybody,  hello kids! I know I haven't done this in a rather long time, but here I am. Another Chris Thorndyke story, requested by one of my friends. I hope he doesn't mind the fact I made some alterations to what he proposed, I just thought Icy was a tad more suitable for the story. Anyway, here we go! Chris Thorndyke vs Icy  It was a seemingly normal day for Chris Thorndyke and his family. The young boy was helping his mum, with the roses while his siblings were frolicing in the graden. Chris wanted to join them and play along, but he knew that duty had to come first. The sun was beating down on the dwellers of the small cottage and the work seemed to go well, when suddenly... - What's that dog doing here?! - screamed Tea in horror, as a large, grey dog jumped in front of her and started to growl. - Tea! - said Chris, concern clear in his voice. For a while, the boy felt petrified at the sight of the canine, but then, he mustered the courage to...

  Hello, everybody! Hello, kids! It's been a while since I made the top 6 books for girls of all ages which I think are worth giving them a read. And now, it's time for me to do the long overdue list for books that I think will make young gentlemen want to smile (which are not about monster-trucks or gross humour). Of course, everyone's free to read whatever they want , no matter if they're a boy or a girl, old or young.  With that out of the way, let's see what those legendary reads are! 6. Bolt by Disney Books  The book follows the same story as its film counterpart. Bolt, the titular character, is a canine Hollywood star who one day escapes from the studio to find his owner, a young girl named Penny. Along the way, he makes new friends and realises what truly matters in the life of a dog for the first time. The book stays relatively faithful to the Disney movie's plot and character designs, offering an enjoyable reading time for kids who are just learning to ...
