Bigger Picture, A - Damon Brown

Picture this!

Advantages: Easy to play, endless fun, clear images
Disadvantages: None

Picture Pairs is a classic game that I used to love playing with my brother when I was a child, but it wasn't until very recently that I started to play the game with Harry. We were staying with my parents for a little while, and my mum decided to get Harry some games to play with her. I wasn't sure what was suitable for his age (3.5 years), but she picked up this game, Picture Pairs, and Animal Snap. We got them home and Harry was eager to get stuck in, and so were we actually, and would you believe it's now his favourite game we have to play at least once a day! It's a game that can be played in so many ways, and is always fun for younger children to play. It is sometimes called Memory pairs but it's still the same principle and the same game. This particular version is made and sold in Early Learning Centre stores, and comes in ...

Review of Early Learning Centre Picture Pairs

Picture This

Advantages: easy to use for all ages
Disadvantages: words presented in kanji and kana mixed, but not just using kana, scenes are of a Western city

, and maybe actually get to use a little bit more of what you have learned, for instance, while out at the zoo. Having learned to say the dog is brown and white in Japanese, your child can now point to the giraffe and impress others by saying the giraffe is brown and white. Hey, it is a lot more likely than when I was at school (ok, university) and for some reason, the German textbook had us learn to say, "That is an UFO." Yeah, like that comes up in ordinary circumstances... ~~~Any other editions?~~~ Yes, one can get this book in Spanish, German, French, Hebrew, and Italian as well. So something there for everyone, perhaps. Who knows, maybe it might be of use to tourists who can't manage to use a proper dictionary and just point whilst on holiday in Spain or Tunisia. Here, lookie at the picture, that's it...Actually, given it's size, it ...

Review of Let's Learn Japanese Picture Dictionary - Marlene Goodman

Michael Caine Is Harry Brown

Advantages: Gritty British thriller
Disadvantages: A bit full on at the end

If you followed the career path of Michael Caine you might well wonder what happened, from being crowned the King of Cool in movies such as Get Carter, Alfie, and The Italian Job; Caine almost dropped out of the popular movie genre. During the 80?s and 90?s with the odd exception (Educating Rita, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The forth Protocol) his movies were generally bottom end stuff, most of his output in this time is available on super low budget DVD. For Caine however age made him turn a corner, and as the star tentatively spoke about a cameo in popular soap Eastenders, his movie career took of in ways he possibly never realised. With two Batman movies, Children Of Men, and the highly acclaimed Is Anybody There? Behind him Caine now returns in his intriguing movie yet, Harry Brown. Harry Brown follows a history of popular vigilante ...
