Perfect for younger and middle aged children as well as people who are curious about some of the most popular Super Heroes in the Marvel Universe, the Marvel Super Hero Fact Book definitely does not disappoint.

The Marvel Super Hero Fact Book is a strong, board book that is wonderful for kids who are harder on their reading materials than others. They will be able to bang this around and the book will be none the worse for wear. Of course, when they see all the offerings on the inside of the book you might notice them sitting and reading or looking at the full fold-out pages rather than banging it around like they might other books.

Choosing the top five Super Heroes was no easy task. However, there is a good balance represented in this book. There are superheros for both girls and boys. All the role models and the most entertaining characters are represented.

In the Super Hero Fact Book you will be able to learn more about Wolverine (Logan), Spider Man (Peter Parker), The Hulk (Dr. Robert Bruce Banner), Storm (Ororo Munroe), and the Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Sue Richards, and Johnny Storm).

Each section of the board book is dedicated to one of the aforementioned Heroes. You are able to fold out a large, dynamic poster of the hero you are learning about, which will is excellent for kids who want to see the heroes while learning more about their special skills.

It is Christmas time, and the countdown has begun. It is time to curl up in the family room and indulge in a little Christmas entertainment. Not only has the countdown begun to the holiday celebration (whichever you may celebrate), the countdown has also begun for those who celebrate Christmas (and even some of those who don’t) to watch all of their favorite Christmas movies.

Jingle All the Way is a relatively new Christmas movie. Unfortunately, they do not make classics as they did in the olden days. However, every once in a while an entertaining Christmas movie is released. For those of us in the Evans household, this is one of them.

This hilarious Christmas comedy stars action star turned Governor Ah-nold Schwarzenegger, Christmas sweetheart Rita Wilson (a.k.a. Mrs. Tom Hanks), the infectiously humorous Sinbad, the equally as funny late Phil Hartman, and Star Wars superstar Jake Lloyd.

Christmas is right around the corner and Jamie Langston (Jake Lloyd) wants “Turbo Man”, the ultimate action hero for Christmas. The only problem is that all the stores are out of the toy. Jamie’s father, Howard (Ah-nold) has not always been there for his son. After one too many screw ups, including promising his wife Liz (Rita Wilson) he will buy the toy, Howard has no other choice but to go out on Christmas Eve and purchase it or face letting his son down.
