Room on the Broom DVD giveaway

Thursday, September 11, 2014

Halloween can be really scary, so when you have little kids it's important to focus on the fun side of Halloween. Witches and black cats don't have to be scary! Last year I discovered a delightful children's Halloween book called "Room on the Broom", and the witch in this book is actually generous and kind.

Just in time for Halloween, NCircle Entertainment would like to offer one lucky Bonggamom Finds reader a SPOOK-tacular chance to win the DVD "Room on the Broom," an enchanting animated program starring "the voice" of Gillian Anderson, along with several other tantalizing prizes. "Room on the Broom" is based on the book I mentioned earlier: "Room on the Broom", a top-selling, perennially popular book of the same title by Julia Donaldson.

About the DVD

Produced by Magic Light Pictures (the team behind award-winning animations The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child) the half hour animation of Room on the Broom is a magical film about friendship and family based on the wonderful children’s picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

Featuring an all-star cast of Gillian Anderson, Rob Brydon, Martin Clunes, Sally Hawkins, Simon Pegg, Timothy Spall and David Walliams, Room on the Broom is a delightful animated tale that the whole family can watch and enjoy together.

Giveaway: Celebrate Science with NCircle Entertainment

Friday, May 09, 2014

As parents, we want to raise our children with self confidence and the belief that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up. Sadly, the struggle to attract young women into STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields continues.

If your daughter loves math and science, there's no time like the present to let them know that math and science are cool -- and if you have a son, there's no time like the present to let them know that girls can be just as good as boys! You can nurture their interest from the start by introducing them to shows like Sid the Science Kid and the Octonauts, and even the Cat in the Hat. These shows spark kids' interest in the natural world because the characters they love are curious about how the world works! Below are 3 great DVD's from NCircle Entertainment to check out -- and NCircle Entertainment will be sending all 3 DVDs to one lucky Bonggamom Finds reader!

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!: Space is the Place
Join the Cat in the Hat on a trip into space, and learn why the cosmos is such a cool place! In this new DVD, the Cat and his friends visit each of the planets, the sun and the stars. Young viewers can learn why day turns to night thanks to our friend, the sun.

Sid the Science Kid: What is a Rainbow?
After a rainstorm, the sun comes out and Sid spots a big rainbow in the sky. He races inside to tell his parents, but by the time he brings them outside to see it, the rainbow is gone. Sid and his friends investigate rainbows at school where they discover that rainbows can only form when light passes through water droplets.

Themes explored include: Where does light come from? How are shadows made? How are rainbows created? What causes darkness?

Octonauts: To the Gup-X!
This DVD includes the following exciting adventures: Captain Barnacles leads a mission to rescue Dashi, who is trapped inside a giant whale shark; Kwazii takes to the skies to retrieve a precious book from a school of flying fish; Peso tries to bandage a Great White Shark without becoming his lunch – and much more! Plus, in a special extra feature, Tweak & Tunip tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the Gup-X!

Giveaway: Dreamworks Holiday DVD set and Christmas Classics DVD set

Thursday, November 28, 2013

I received product samples for review

Happy Thanksgiving! Doesn't it feel great to know that the holiday season has well and truly begun? So, what are you and your family doing over Thanksgiving Weekend! I'm sure everyone has their dinner plans ready, but what about after you've had your fill of turkey, stuffing and pie? We like to take a walk to keep ourselves from feeling too sluggish, then settle down on the sofa to watch a tv show or a movie. We don't usually watch football games (unless it's the soccer kind of football, but the English Premiere League doesn't usually play games on Thursday), so we choose a movie or tv special like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, or one of the many holiday specials on the networks at this time of the year. Over the weekend, we'll watch our local lights parade, maybe do a bit of shopping (but probably not on Black Friday-- I tried it once and it knocked the stuffing out of me!). And sometime over the next three days we're sure to find ourselves back on the couch, watching yet another holiday special!

If you love holiday specials, you'll love the holiday DVD sets I'm giving away today! In fact, I'm sure you may have seen some of them before, and watching them may even be part of your annual holiday tradition! I grew up watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on tv every year, so I was really excited to review the special boxed DVD set of the Original Christmas Classics shows. It has 7 classic holiday specials that practically every American child knows and loves:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Santa Claus is Comin to Town
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty Returns
Mr. Magoos Christmas Carol
The Little Drummer Boy
Cricket on the Hearth

My favorite, of course, is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I get so nostalgic seeing the quaint stop-motion animation and hearing Burl Ives' friendly voice! My sophisticated 21st century kids got a good laugh out of the low-tech effects, but they loved the story of how Rudolph and his dentist elf friend Herman came to realize that what made them different also made them special.

Much as they loved watching the Christmas Classics, my kids loved the Dreamworks Holiday Collection DVD even more, and as nostalgic as I am for the classics, I have to admit that the Dreamworks movies are better. They're technically better, of course, and my kids know and love the characters. I have a feeling these are going to be the new classics that my kids remember fondly from their youth, and force their kids to watch over Thanksgiving weekend! Well, I doubt if there's going to be much forcing involved, since each of the four episodes are great:

Shrek the Halls
Merry Madagascar
Kung Fu Panda Holiday
Gift of the Night Fury

These specials debuted separately, and this is the first time that all four have been presented together in a boxed edition (2 DVDs). In addition to the episodes themselves, there are a few DVD extras, mostly related to the Madagascar characters. We had a great time watching these, and so will you!

Win a Holiday DVD set
One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will win both the Christmas Classics DVD set and the Dreamworks Holiday Collection DVD set!

Room on the Broom DVD and Book giveaway

Tuesday, October 01, 2013

Halloween can be really scary, so when you have little kids it's important to focus on the fun side of Halloween. Witches and black cats don't have to be scary! I recently reviewed a delightful children's Halloween book called "Room on the Broom", and the witch in this book is actually generous and kind.

Just in time for Halloween, NCircle Entertainment would like to offer you a SPOOK-tacular review and giveaway opportunity featuring their newest DVD, "Room on the Broom," an enchanting animated program starring "the voice" of Gillian Anderson, along with several other tantalizing prizes. "Room on the Broom" is based on the top-selling, perennially popular book of the same title by Julia Donaldson, and was created by the production company responsible for "The Gruffalo" and "The Gruffalo's Child."

About the book

"Room on the Broom" is the story of a kind witch who invites some unexpected animals to join her on her broom, much to the frustration of her cat. Just as the witch is about to be eaten by a hungry dragon, all the animals use their wits to work together and save her. The charming story is full of humor, adventure – and just the right amount of suspense!

Dino Dan DVD set giveaway

Tuesday, October 01, 2013

What kid doesn't love dinosaurs? Even three year olds know what a T-Rex is, and I'm willing to bet that most kids can identify more dinosaurs than most adults! So what is behind kids’ fascination with dinosaurs? Freelance writer and book author Bob Strauss pondered this question for About.com and came up with some pretty solid explanations!!

For starters, he believes kids like dinosaurs because the huge, dangerous creatures are extinct, so kids know that dinosaurs are not a threat.
He also believe that dinosaurs are also role models for kids because dinosaurs are big and nobody tells them what to do – the exact opposite of a kid, who is small and is always being told how to behave.
Kids also like the size and scope of dinosaur skeletons, definitely a cool factor!
And they also like the possibility that, like Matt Larson, a paleontologist for the Black Hills Institute of Geologic Research, they too might be able to someday discover dinosaur fossils – as he did just this summer in the plains of northeast Wyoming!

If your child can't get enough of dinosaurs, check out Dino Dan, the popular live action/CGI series on Nick Junior. Jason Spevack plays Dino Dan, and he interacts with over a dozen cool CGI dinos who are running all around his school and neighborhood. The show teaches kids some fun dino facts but it also features situations that kids handle every day, like having to play with your little brother, going to the dentist, or trying to win at hide 'n' seek.

Dino Dan DVDs are now available in a special 4-pack through NCircle Entertainment beginning September 24, 2013. With a suggested retail price of $24.99 for four DVDs – Ready, Set, DINO!; Dino Trackers; To Catch a Dino! and Cretaceous Creatures! – the Dino Dan 4-pack also includes a bonus augmented reality feature on the DVD package that, when the code is scanned, brings dinosaurs to life! The four-pack is available at Target stores nationwide from September 24.

Win a Dino Dan DVD set!
One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will win a pack of four Dino Dan DVDs.

Required Entry
Leave a comment on this post telling me your child's favorite dinosaur.
