The Movie Musical 1776
Tuesday, January 10th, 2006A while back I was writing about visiting Philadelphia with kids.
If you’re planning to visit Independence Hall in Philadelphia, I would recommend watching the musical 1776 (filmed in 1972) before your trip. It really brings Independence Hall to life.
It helps you and your kids understand what took place in that one room, called the Assembly Room, in the days leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
Plus, it’s a lot of fun!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie – A Quick Review
Sunday, November 27th, 2005Last night my husband, my son and I went to see the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie.
I think everyone should read the Harry Potter series. They’re highly imaginative and fun. The first book was the best so far. The later ones are (needlessly) too long. But if I was a kid, I wonder if I would love all the extra details.
I think the movies are good as companions to the books, but none of them are great on their own. The films look beautiful, but the stories don’t stand up that well compared to the books.
That’s how I feel about the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie too. The story is lacking compared to the book, but it’s worth seeing just because of how it looks. And if you’re a Harry Potter fan, you wont want to miss it!
Little Bear – Book and TV Show
Sunday, November 27th, 2005My four year old daughter loves this book and TV show. It’s about a little bear, a cat, a duck, a hen, an owl, and a girl with her doll.
The stories are about the simple joys in a kid’s life, like wishing upon a star, pretending to go to the moon, and opposite day – where you always say the opposite of what you mean.
The show, which is for 3-6 year olds, is based on the series of Little Bear books by Else Holmelund Minarik, with illustrations by Maurice Sendak (who wrote and illustrated Where the Wild Things Are). The book is filled with homey, colorful pen and ink drawings.
