My Thoughts

This 391 pieces Police Force Pursuit is set to please any boy in your family.   With a police cruiser SUV, a police boat and a police force carrier, your child will have tons of fun with this set!image  The box also includes three Blok Squad Police Officers.

Though this kit will entertain your child, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the older siblings or even Dad enjoy them as well.    The colors of the bloks are representing the police force with the white and blue.    The characters will move and you have every details for your vehicles.    I particularly like the boat and the fact that the characters are not all the same color or wear the same clothes.   

My boys are all into blok building and love everything connected with police, fire and rescue.    Every time we pass next to a police officer on the street, they observe and watch what he/she is doing.   Most of the time it is for directing the traffic due to an accident and such but they are curious nevertheless. 

My only disappointment is that if you want to have a bad guy you have to purchase the police station from the same collection to get one.  I guess my boys will have to be creative and use something else…   The Police Force collection also had the Police Force Chopper, the Police Station, the Police ATV, and the Beach Patrol.   Other themes in the Blok Squad series includes the fire station, the military, the space team and the construction team.

The Police Force Pursuit is available at your favorite toy store for the price of 24.99$.

Snuggle Mountain

From PicPocket Books

About the app

Inside the snuggly cave at the very top of Snuggle Mountain is a two-headed giant who’s fast asleep, caught in the Sleeping Spell that has made it forget all about breakfast. But Emma wants pancakes, and to get them she’ll have to climb the shaking quaking mountain all the way to the top – and wake the sleeping giant herself!
This imaginative, interactive, animated picture book pays loving tribute to a morning ritual shared by parents and children everywhere.

My Thoughts

Emma is on an adventure as she climbs a mountain in the hopes to get breakfast.  Her mission is simple – to wake up the two-headed giant so she can have pancakes.   This cute little book is very imaginative and will transport your little one in a beautiful story where a little girl climbs the bed of her parents to wake them up.image

The colorful story will  allow your child to have the story read to them and interact with the story as well.  Throughout the story the child can touch Emma, the cat and the dog to discover hidden sounds.

The books from PicPocket Books brings high quality interactive stories for children of various ages.   I am impressed with the clarity of the reading done with Snuggle Mountain.  And having book on the iPad or iPhone is very interesting when you are waiting at the doctor’s office with young ones. 

Children at an age as early as 2 years old can easily listen to the story and swipe the pages to discover more of the adventure of Emma on Snuggle Mountain. 

The iPad version includes a pancake recipe for your own Snuggle Mountain morning.    This recipe can become a morning delight for your little ones!

Snuggle Mountain is a delight to listen to and will entertain you and your child.  

Snuggle Mountain is available for 1.99$ on iTunes.
