I don't know about the kids in your house, but around here, our likes and dislikes tend to change from one thing to the next, while others stay around forever.  The latest?  Broxton has really been into space, talking about the planets and the moon all the time.  I was thrilled when we were selected to be sent a copy of the National Geographic Mars t.v. series.  Except, when it arrived, I was informed "mom, you know I am not into SPACE stuff these days!"  Well, excuse me, you were (as of last week,) so I thought it was cool.  I ignored him no-longer having an interest and started the Blu-Ray for me to watch.

Having an 8 year old, we love going to Legoland Discovery Center in Atlanta.  He has a blast there and it is so fun watching his mind at work playing with all of those LEGO bricks!  He has said he really likes that they made the play area the Pirate Adventure, so when we heard they had a limited time SPACE MISSION Exhibit, I knew he would love it.  We planned our trip to go see it and I was surprised when he asked if they still had the Pirate play area.  No need to worry, it is there... doubt it is going anywhere for a good while.  The first thing we noticed?  They have added this play area to the first area you enter.  If you have been before, it is the waiting room before the doors open to enter and learn more about the making of those little bricks!   He was excited to get to play instead of just stand there and wait like you had to in the past.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provid...

AZ Books LLC has entered the market in the USA!   Whooo Hoooo Okay, I know you might not be familiar with AZ Books, but that needs to be followed with a YET.. As in, you are not familiar with them YET...  But, if you know kids under the age of 10, I bet you will be learning about them soon. Image Credit : AZ Books I had the chance to review one of their books and we were sent the AZ Books, Amazing Space, Encyclopedia with Flaps !  I actually took this on a road trip, as it gave Broxton something to look at.  Each flap is somewhat "hidden" on the page... So, besides just looking at the pictures, he was able to look for the hidden flaps...   We flipped through and looked at several pages talking about what all we learned...  This book was pretty fun because we were able to learn about so much... It starts with us learning about the sky and the stars...  We even got to look in a space ship and see the cargo area and what they w...
