Curious Critters, a great new kids book for animal lovers and Pre-K ages!
October 9, 2011 by 3 Comments
How many of you make funny noises at your kids just to see that quizzical reaction from them? You know you do, don’t ya? In a store you look at them and make a funny noise to get them to laugh or even just cause you want to make a funny noise and have an excuse? Well, for once you will have a good excuse for making funny noises at your kids. Curious Critters is a new book by David FitzSimmons. This book has some of the most incredible looking animals around in such large format and sharply defined pictures you will want to pick them up and pet her/him. Pictures of frogs, goldfish, possum, snakes and birds all look like the colors were turned up to an 11, maybe even 12. Amazing!
There is one other component to this book, the little blurbs written about the animals. They almost always, for each specific animal, have a part in them where you make an animal sound. Be it a Kee-eee-arr of a blue jay to the snap of the Ohio crawfish. This makes this book so much fun to read to kids it should be illegal. Making silly noises and getting a giggle is the best, pair it with a silly face while doing it and you are golden. Then leave it out and have your friends pick it up thinking its an animal photo book only to get a giggle out of them about the musings written for each animal.
Enjoy this wonderful book!
“When parents read CURIOUS CRITTERS with their kids not only will they have fun reading, but they also inspire in them a life-long interest in nature. Kids will want to swap TV and video games for a trips to the park or more time in the backyard. So, get ready to have a budding biologist on your hands!”
Just some of what kids will learn:
- What turtles and humans have in common
- Why black swallowtail butterflies impersonates their toxic cousins
- How Eastern box turtles can live longer than humans (over 150 years!)
- If squirrels can fly
- Why crayfish grow new legs
- How bats find food
- Why frogs sing
- How jumping spiders jump and why they never have to look over their shoulders.
Bob Evans Farm Festival- I am a Correspondent! @DiscoverOhio #Travel #Tourism
October 9, 2011 by 13 Comments
It’s time some good ‘ol American fun. We are heading to the Bob Evans 41st Annual Farm Festival as Farm Festival Correspondents. This festival is held from Oct 14th thru 16th. from 9 am to 5 pm, yes that is next weekend! Quick! Call out from work lol.
This festival is a celebration of everything farm and American. They will have concerts ranging from country music to gospel playing all weekend long. Also there will be vendors there selling crafts, antiques, food of all sorts. And of course a children’s petting zoo and Kids Farmyard are going to be there. Little Man is so excited. He loves farms and anything farm related. Bob Evans will also have it’s own food tent and restaurant for some of that wonderful Bob Evans home cooked meals. Looking over the foods going to be served there there are: bean soup and corn bread, kettle corn, pies, apple dumplings, ice cream and Ohio-made cheese. Also there is something which is intrigue me called trail bologna. Going to have to check that out when we get there. Just about all of us love the bologna especially Little Man. Not so much me…but hey! Can’t win the m all, LOL.
This is definitely going to be a trip to remember. A nice wholesome family even with lots to keep us all busy and entertained. Shopping for the ladies, farming for the men folk and great food for all the folk. Once you are ready to wind down a bit and learn a bit of history there is also the Bob Evans Homestead Museum, which follows the history of Bob Evans you can even sit at a reconstructed counter from the first steak house owned by Bob Evans. Hopefully I’ll see some of you there, I’ll be one of the many moms chasing their little one around the petting zoo. 🙂
My son is the biggest Bob Evans fan in the world, being a lover of all things Farm and Amish related- he also believes all deep voiced country music singers are “farmers” for some reason, LOL. He should REALLY be the correspondent, but since he can’t yet write, it’s up to momma! 🙂 I hope you have all entered the Bob Evans Giveaway going on right here on Have Sippy Will Travel, there are multiple winners, and the prizes are great! Who wouldn’t want to win dinner for the family? Get to steppin’! LOL, and I will keep you posted with all the Bob Evans’ news.
Have a good one, bloggy buddies!
Disclosure- I will be acting as a a Bob Evans Farm Festival Correspondent through Blog Friendly PR. All opinions are my own.
