Book Review: "Some Dogs Do" by Jez Alborough- review by Connor

Connor wanted to review his favorite book, "Some Dogs Do" by Jez Alborough. He has had his parents read this book every night for the entire month that he has owned the book. Connor is three years old but will be turning four in five days.








Notice how he is saying the words of the story along with his daddy because he has heard the story so many times that he has memorized most of it?

Neither the children in this blog nor the parents received any money or free gifts in exchange for this review. This review was done solely because the book is a favorite of Connor's.

AmericanSoda.co.uk - Lucky Charms Review by Gabby, Bella, Connor & Cameron

American Soda sent us some free items to review. One of those items was Lucky Charms cereal.



Gabriella is seven years old. Isabella is four years old. Connor is three years old, and Cameron is 1 1/2 years old. They all loved Lucky Charms, especially the marshmallow-like charms in it. Gabby and Bella ate it with milk. Connor and Cameron ate it dry as a snack.

Take a look at the video and listen to what they thought of it and decide for yourself whether or not you think your kids would be just as happy to have some Lucky Charms cereal.



Stay tuned for future reviews of some of the other items sent to us by American Soda.

Captain Mac A. Roni "The Greatest Treasure" Review by Bella & Gabby

Gabriella and Isabella were sent a free copy of the DVD "Captain Mac A. Roni - The Greatest Treasure" to review.

Seven year old Gabby and four year old Bella watched the video this morning. They both enjoyed the video, but Bella had a case of shyness when videoed to ask what she thought of it.

Take a look at the video and listen to what they thought of it and decide for yourself whether or not it would be a good Christmas gift for your own kids. You can buy the Captain Mac.A.Roni Children's DVD here.

About Children Review

When reading a lot of Mommy blogs about children's products, I realized that, although it's good to find out about products from a parent's perspective, the products are aimed at children, so it'd be a really good idea to find out what kids thought of the products too. So rather than just have a mom or dad tell you what their kids thought of a children's product, this is where you can hear what children think of it in their own words.

I have seven kids who range in age from one to seventeen, so my kids have most ages covered, and if a product is geared at children somewhere in between, then I have friends with kids who would love the occasional free product to review.

Looking for Christmas or birthday gifts for the children in your life? This is a great place to find out what those children might like!

But a warning to the companies who choose to have their product reviewed here: Kids are very honest, so if they don't like your product, they'll say so!
