Princess Time

Oh I am back in the saddle with the kids DVD's today. And I am celebrating Princess Emma (one of my kiddos) by watching "GiGi-God's Little Princess"

First off, I am a lover of all things pink so you can see GiGi is after my heart right there. And my motto is There is Always Time to DANCE, so once again GiGi is hitting two for two. But as for how did I like the show itself?

Well I am very happy to see a show that is telling lil ladies that they are Princesses to God. They are his precious angels as they are intended to be. I feel we all should feel like we are a treasure. It is an amazing feeling when you finally get it! As for the two shows on this DVD they are the Royal Tea Party and the Pink Ballerina. Why dang it, where is Princess Emma when I need her. This would have been twice the fun for me to see her face light up to see GiGi telling her she is royalty. Then to watch Princess Emma dance while they were also twirling around on screen. It is great to see the message that dance is an expression of joy not a mark of perfectness. Of course Princess Emma has that down pact. See here she is on one of her great dance moves.

I want to thank Book Sneeze for sharing this DVD with me. It is on my must see list with Princess Emma. Wonder if I can dash across the street to Nessa's to watch it again today?

Imagia and the Magic Pearls

Growing up the youngest of 5 children and with a large gap between girls (10 years), I learned to rely on my imagination for friendship. And it was in the places of my mind that I truly blossomed. There I could do anything, be anyone and have many many friends.

Well, now there is a tale of Imagia and the Magic Pearls. This elf princess also has learned to live in her imagination. Desiring to have other friends to play with but stuck in her palace and with her lessons she seems to be a prisoner of her own life. (Gosh, don't we all relate to that one!) Of course, like all of us, Imagia has to break free and discover the world around her. Tales from the Mapmaker will open up a new land of Trillow. Here Imagia not only wanders into a castle ruled by the evil queen Baddora but also meets her new friend, Flutterwalk. And it is here that Imagia really learns the power of her imagination.

Monroe S. Tarver, both author and illustrator, has given a new childhood princess story which he is developing into a series of stories. Focused for children ages 5-9, this story weaves in a new cast of characters, moral lessons, the power of imagination and embracing an ethnic princess. With rich paintings to surround the story, you are swept away to a new land of Trillow. And one that takes you on those unexpected twist and turns. This is a new tale that has been released just this month at Amazon.com for only $6.99. I feel it would make a wonderful addition to any child's bookshelf this holiday season.
