BIG TOP Scooby Doo: DVD Review



I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a DVD review for Kidspot, I received BIG TOP Scooby Doo on DVD to watch and review and here's how it went -

when we received the BIG TOP Scooby Doo DVD, my almost 3 year old daughter was more than excited to watch it, we had to put on it straight away!
I was a fan of Scooby Doo when I was younger so it was kinda cool to be sitting down and watching it with my little girl.

BIG TOP Scooby Doo is about the Mystery Inc gang going to Atlantic City, with the plans of having a relaxing vacation but they soon find themselves
involved in a mystery at the circus! You'll see Fred as a trapeze artist, Velma as a human rocket, Daphne as a clown with Shaggy as Scooby's trainer,
"teaching" Scooby crazy stunts and tricks all in hopes of catching some fiesty werewolves!

I love that this movie can be enjoyed by a large range of ages, from my daughter who is almost 3, to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law (8 and 9, who were excited to watch it
after school pick up) to myself, 22.

I think it is perfect for those times when you all want to sit down and watch a movie but can't make your mind up on one that is suitable for everyone.
This movie wasn't scary either which is good, because they definitely take into consideration that younger children will watch it, my daughter didn't
get scared once. It was funny and silly, lots of giggles were shared whilst watching it.

I will be recommending this DVD to my friends and family for sure and will definitely be searching for more titles in the range. I thought the way the movie was
produced was great, it is great quality but also keeping with the "old school" look that adults will remember from their days of watching it on TV (I cannot stand when
they change the animation too much on shows and movies!)

So there you have it, my family LOVED the DVD and I think it will be one that will be requested many, many times in the future to watch.
Thank you Warner Bros Entertainment and Kidspot for giving me the chance to review it.

I hope you all will enjoy this movie as much as my family did!
Scooby Dooby Doo!

I love you, Daddy

Yesterday we did some last minute shopping for Father's Day and I have wanted to find a cute little story book for my daughter and partner to read together. We stopped into the book store and I saw there were a few Daddy type story books (less than all the Mummy ones which I was a little disappointed with, being Father's Day is tomorrow and all). I flipped through a couple but this one was just too cute not to get - yes, I may have read the entire book before purchasing it and yes, I may have almost shed a tear because it was so cute. What can I say - I'm a sucker for kid and parent orientated books!



I love you, Daddy is a cute story about a child and Daddy, the child describes all the things they love about their Daddy and it's just really a sweet little book.

Reading the book this morning for Father's Day.

I think it will be a lovely one for my daughter and her Daddy to read together and enjoy for many years to come :)

Happy Father's Day!
