Including fun mini-games and a fully interactive storybook based on the Scholastic Book Winter’s Tail, read by the authors Juliana, Isabella and Craig Hatkoff. Rated E for Everyone!

This game is SO cute and a lot of fun! My daughter had a great time playing it because she loves sea animals, especially dolphins. She enjoyed helping Winter, the Dolphin learn to swim again and reunite Winter with his friends. You can even make your own story in this game!

Boy and Girl Holiday Gift Picks from Klutz
Klutz is one of our very favorite toy companies because they create toys that inspire our kids, ignite their imaginations! Not sure what to buy for that special boy or girl on your Holiday Gift List? Here are a couple of fabulous offerings from the imaginative kids’ toy company, Klutz.
Invasion of the Bristlebots comes with two mini-robots -basically motorized toothbrush heads. These guys zoom around like caffeinated cockroaches, spinning, skittering, and bouncing off walls. Resistance is futile. The book bristles with ideas for robot games and activities: race robots against each other, use the included punch-out walls to construct a bristlebot maze, stage a robot sumo-wrestling match. You can even customize your Bots with the provided wire legs, feelers, and beady eyes. #1 Award winner 2009 Toy of the Year Award, FamilyFun magazine.
This set is a LOT of fun for the whole family and I can say that it’s all fabulous quality and the instructions are very thorough and exciting! You can purchase Invasion of the Bristlebots at Klutz.com for $19.95 (but get 25% off using the code below!!!)

Scholastic Holiday Book Giveaway (ENDED)
CONGRATULATIONS TO MARCIE W. !!
Scholastic has released two beautiful Christmas books that they want to share with you. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and The Christmas Magic are beautifully illustrated and written and are sure to be a holiday tradition in your house like they’re going to be in mine! Scholastic books are always of the best quality and we can spend hours just browsing their website making a wish list because we love to read so much in our family!
NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING
On Christmas Eve, Godfather Drosselmeier has arrived with gifts of marvel and enchantment for his young godchildren. Goddaughter Marie falls in love a bewitching nutcracker doll and claims him as her own. Yet when the clock strikes midnight, something terribly amazing happens to Godfather’s handcrafted toys…they come alive. Marie is swept off her feet on an incredible journey with the Nutcracker in this astonishing classic story by E.T.A. Hoffman. Critically acclaimed artist Gail de Marcken’s stunning illustrations bring this spellbinding tale to life. Suggested Retail $18.99.
THE CHRISTMAS MAGIC
Far, far North, when the nights are longest and the stars shine brightest, Santa begins to prepare for his big night of giving. He gathers his reindeer, feeds them parsnips and berries, and polishes his bells and his sled. Then lovingly, he chooses toys for every child in the world. For Santa loves them all, and he knows what each child at heart wants most. Then, with the thrum of magic that makes reindeers fly, he spreads the Christmas joy and warmth throughout the world–as he always has — and always will until the end of time. From best-selling author Lauren Thomas, and Caldecott Honor Artist Jon J Muth.
Suggested Retail $16.99.
