rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - Today I took 4 kids to see "Fat Albert the Movie" - two boys ages 5 and 6, and two girls ages 7 and 9. Between the poor reviews I have seen and the quality of other recent old cartoons-turned-new movies, I wasn't expecting much at all. Before I get...

A little background first: I loved...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author foster - During a visit to the park with my daughter when she was just a toddler, I discovered that the only activity she liked which did not involve me chasing after her was swinging. So I knew this was something we HAD to have at home! Why did I choose this...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author foster - I didn't expect much from this car. After all, it is a Chrysler. And I had heard nothing but bad things about Chrysler products. Off the top of my head, I had a friend who owned a Dodge Daytona, had to have the brakes replaced 3 times in 2 years and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - OK, I admit it - I'm a cheesehead, born and raised. (For those of you not familiar with midwest vernacular, that means I live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State). So of course I have been to the Milwaukee County Zoo - you can't grow up in the Milwaukee area...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - If ever an actor should have won an Academy Award for doing the voice of an animated character, Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin would be my vote. I'm a big fan of his anyway... but this was just brilliant. His two musical medleys are just...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author foster - I do not own a Canon printer. I would not pay money for a Canon printer. You could not PAY me to own a Canon printer. So why am I writing a review of them?

Disney's Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten cd-rom: A Balanced Opinion

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 19:04:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - We bought my daughter this cd just after she turned 4. She had been breezing through the other toddler and 3-5 programs I bought her, so I thought this looked a little more challenging. And it is in some ways.

It challenges her patience...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - As I have said before, my son's first word was "ball". So when I saw this toy, I KNEW I had to buy it for him. And I'm glad I did - he LOVES it! The Roll Around Tower was his gift from "Santa" this past Christmas (at 20 months of...

Pretty Cool

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - I bought this toy for my daughter's first Christmas (she was about 8 months old); I don't know why I chose it, other than I thought it looked cool. And it is. It has been through two kids now, it still looks practically new, and both of them still...

It's OK, I guess...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author foster - My son (now age 2) has loved Roll Arounds since he was old enough to sit up. (His first word was "ball"). We had the Roll Around Playground from when my daughter was a baby, and she liked it, but he fell in love. So when I saw an ad for the...

Doens't do much for us

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 17:27:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author foster - Our Wiggly Giggly ball sits in the toy box 99% of the time, untouched. I find it annoying, and my kids don't seem to get much out of it.

I know it is supposed to wobble when it rolls, but it is SO wobbly that you have to give it a good strong...

Hey Arnold: Hey watch this!

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 16:35:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - I like this show for a couple of reasons:

1) I find it almost as entertaining as my daughter does, and

2) I like the fact that the main character, Arnold, is a boy WITH character. He always tries to stand up for what he thinks is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - The first credit card I ever got, straight out of college, was from USAA. That was 15 years ago. And I have never looked back. I have had umpteen opportunities to switch cards over the years (who hasn't? Have you looked in your mailbox lately?) but...

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 00:16:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - The first time I watched this movie, I had the same thought a many of the other reviewers did - "This isn't as good as the first one." I was especially disappointed in the replacement voice for Zasu - the first voice had just the right amount...

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 13:39:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - This has to be THE ultimate Christmas special. I remember watching it when I was a kid and you could only see it on tv - I made my parents plan our holiday schedule around this show because I just could not miss it. And they understood, they loved it...

Good news or bad news?

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 17:24:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - The good news - Rock & Roll Elmo is a huge hit with my kids. They love him from the top of his furry red head to the bottom of his "ROLL" tennis shoes. They love the music, and take full advantage of the "rapping" ability Elmo...

Sat, 12 Feb 2000 16:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - Dr. Seuss is a classic children's book writer, no doubt. And his style is unique; you can always tell a Dr. Seuss book apart from all the rest. I have enjoyed many Dr. Seuss books over the years, first as a child myself, and now as I read them to my...

This book is a Timeless Treasure

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 23:56:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foster - I remember my brother memorizing this book when he was 3 years old, 15 years ago. Little did I know then that my 3 year old would be just as enthralled by it as my brother was. And the story is just as cute now as it was then, too.

I think...

Good book, everyone!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author foster - Good Dog Carl was given to my daughter as a gift for her first birthday. Now, it is like an old shoe - very worn around the edges, but oh so comfortable.

The story consists of mainly illustrations. You will see Carl, the dog, and a baby (I...
