Bristles and barrel emit ions



Spornette Prego Brush, 2-Inch Diameter

Bristles enhanced by ions or tourmaline. "The ions break up water molecules so the smaller molecules can be absorbed more easily into hair strands, reducing brittleness and permitting the strands to be more soft and stretchable."

Huge and Versatile Doodle Pad



Fisher-Price DoodlePro, Slim (Blue)


The first thing you notice with this doodlepro is that it is huge. Loe the triangle, square, star and circle stamps. You can stamp these shapes here and there. You cna draw fine lines with the pen, like clouds and so on. You can use the pen for stippling too. It is a very creative way of starting with some shapes instead of a blank page, not knowing what to draw.

The Bossy Pirate by John Steven Gurney



The Bossy Pirate 


The title foreshadows the story. 
Very creative use of the unicycle and clothespins to make a steering wheel for the ship.
The kids realised how bossy the pirate was and how the mermaid transformed him into a collaborative pirate where anyone can give orders, and anybody can contribute maps. I loved the natural segue between the attic and the ocean, between reality and imagination. The number of pages could have been reduced. Good lesson to remember. Lots of nautical words learned. I didnt know yardarm and scuttlebutt.

Am I Yours? by Alix Latimer



Am I Yours?



'Am I yours?' is a fun story. I read it with 6,7 and 3 yr olds. They all enjoyed it. The dinosaurs are all so colorful. I learned about few new types of dinosaurs. Its funny that every dinosaur talks to an egg. All the kids liked the part where the egg hatches and the whole family is together. Smooth illustrations. It was interesting to see a bit of the last dinosaur in each page. it made me peek back to see if there was a foreshadow of the coming dinsosaur. Kind of like the 'what do you see?'.
Nice twist on the 'are you my mother' and hints of 'what do you see'. There are little critters all over the place, which the kids had fun pointing out. 

Choo Choo train



In the middle of the night, my little one worried that one of her train was missing from Thomas Engine. As they get ready to pass on the toys to their cousin, it is strange how I am tied to some of the toys, souvenirs from trips to Grand Canyon, Houston NASA.

This powered train should have made it to the market a while ago.

Turning the vane of the weathercock,   
The weathercock silently crows in the wind. " -   Wind Vane party

Quantum computing for babies



Quantum Computing for Babies (Baby University)


I did not realise that qubits cannot be copied. The black box part is a bit hard to digest. Earlier I was reading that the models in AI are like a black box too.

My kid read the book and asked me at the end "Mama, do we have a quantum computer?" Isnt that great that she wants to know if the computer we have has qubits?
Google has a the largest quantum computer yet of 72 qubits.
