Who doesn’t love The Berenstain Bears? They are super adorable and always around to teach our little ones family rules and manners! So, I’m not surprised that The Berenstain Bears LIVE! is entering it’s 5th year OffBroadway in New York City. Having entertained nearly 50,000 boys, girls, parents, and grandparents, producer Matt Murphy thanked the cast and creative team for their contributions over the past three years and added, “I am thrilled that the greater New York area has embraced our show and allowed us to continue on a weekend schedule that caters to families. Time and time again, we hear from parents who are so happy to have introduced their children to the wonderful world of theatre with characters they know and love from The Berenstain Bears books. As long as New Yorkers will have us, we will keep bringing the vibrant and colorful world of Bear Country that Stan and Jan Berenstain created more than 50 years ago to life through song and dance Off-Broadway.” Adapted from the children’s book series by Stan and Jan Berenstain, The Berenstain Bears LIVE! is NYC’s #1 musical for Mamas, Papas, and Young Cubs that will give boys and girls of all ages the chance to fall in love with these characters, just as their parents did when they were growing up. The Berenstain Bears LIVE! features an original score by Michael Borton and a book by Borton and Michael Slade. The Berenstain Bears LIVE! is produced by Matt Murphy Productions.

Chizi’s Tale A True Story of An Orphaned Baby Black Rhino

Chizi’s Tale A True Story of An Orphaned Baby Black Rhino

Recently I had the privilege of attending a special event commemorating the release of Chizi’s Tale, a children’s book about an orphaned baby black rhino and the family who took him in and helped him survive. In the story, a pair of park rangers in Zimbabwe discover a young black rhino, only a day old, who had been abandoned by his mother. When they inform the park manager about this, he nobly decides to take care of the rhino himself, bringing it home to live with his family. Chizi’s Tale tells the story of the year that the young rhino (named Chisiwana, or “Orphaned One”– Chizi for short) spent with the family, and shows us how he grew and interacted with the family.

This story of friendship, bravery, and social consciousness is an adorable and well-written introduction to greater issues like endangered species and caring for the earth’s wildlife.  In keeping with that goal, 100 percent of the author proceeds from the book will be donated to Tusk.org, a charity dedicated to supporting wildlife, communities, and education in Africa. The book stands as a hallmark of Peek-A-Boo Publishing’s inaugural season, proudly carrying the publisher’s focus on diversity and innovation in storytelling.
 
Chizi’s Tale is an inspirational and heartwarming story that your whole family is sure to love– it’s already a hit with ours! http://chizistale.com

MAX

Release: June 26, 2015

Rating: PG

A precision-trained military dog, Max serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott.  But when things go terribly wrong on maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded and Max, traumatized by the loss of his best friend, is unable to remain in service. Shipped stateside, the only human he seems willing to connect with is Kyle’s teenage brother, Justin, so Max is adopted by Kyle’s family, essentially saving his life.

Ubisoft E3 Roundup #E3 #ubisoft

by Leave a Comment

In my house, E3 is a great time of year! My son loves playing all of the newest releases from Ubisoft, especially the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and my daughter is a huge fan of the Just Dance games. It’s great to have kids that span the gaming ages from child to mature! Woot! Woot! I can finally get my gaming on across the spectrum!  Ubisoft’s conference went into great detail about those two franchises, but also introduced a bunch of new games that my son and I can’t wait to play! Take a look below at all of Ubisoft’s smash hit titles that will be releasing soon!

​
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
Today at Ubisoft’s E3 Conference, a new cinematic trailer was shown for the newest entry in the smash-hit Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. In the new trailer, we saw the grappling hook in action. We were also treated to an intense chase scene through the streets of Industrial Revolution-era England.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole
In this brand new adventure from the twisted minds of Matt Stone and Trey Parker comes South Park: The Fractured But Whole. This game is a sequel to 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth, but in this game, the boys are no longer playing a real life RPG, but instead dressing up like superheroes. South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC soon!
For Honor
​In Ubisoft’s brand new IP For Honor, gamers will have the true experience of melee combat. For Honor features an innovative combat system that allows players to feel the impact of every single strike of their blade. For Honor will be available soon on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC soon!
​

​ Tom Clancy’s The Division

At E3, Ubisoft offered a brand new look into the world of Tom Clancy’s The Division, an incredible multiplayer game set in the a post-apocalyptic New York in which players will work together and form alliances. The game features a dynamic open world where players will struggle and fight for survival. Tom Clancy’s The Division releases on March 8, 2016 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC!
