The stars have always inspired wonder, but been something that I know very little about. I can locate the North Star, the Big Dipper, and on a good day realize that I’m looking at Venus, not a star. But that has been about the extent of my celestial knowledge. Well... I do know, that if the moon were made of spare ribs, I would most definitely eat it.
The Book
If there’s one thing I love across the board about Klutz books it’s that they are always self contained. By that I mean that everything you need for the activities is included with the book, or is a household item.
The Fockers are back, and as a result I have a plethora of prizes to pass out. Well, just 3... but I couldn’t resist giving away a “fockers” onesie (among other things).
Synopsis
It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.
In a city there once live a banshee,
Of screaming and pouting she fancied.
All day she decided to pester,
Which caused many tempers to fester.
In her behavior was found no delight,
And she caused her poor sister much fright.
Til one day enough was enough,
Her father did say, quite gruff...
“Unless you can turn the volume down,
Please refrain from coming around.”
“That racket causes much dismay,
I think I will go buy some hay... by the bay... I just may... someday.”
At this the bansee’s feelings were hurt,
The tears they began to squirt.
So hugs they were handed out,
While softly whispering to the banshee,
“Remember, do not pout.”
I know the last thing I posted was a giveaway, and I try not to do back-to-back giveaways without some more meaty content in between, however, Star Wars stuff is awesome, and except for my wife, who wouldn't want to learn more about the Millennium Falcon?
For the Star Wars fan, this book is pretty cool. It lets you peel back the layers of the Millennium Falcon and see what makes it tick. You get a more detailed look at the weaponry, shields, and more.
What really shines is the kind of 3D aspect of the book. Each page is a slice of the Millennium Falcon, and when combined, the pages give you a picture of the whole ship.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for commenting, and congratulations Chris, for winning the giveaway!
Over the past few weeks, Princess P and I have been playing around with the Klutz Book of Animation... and I realize that stop motion animation is something I could get into. Here is our first feature film, enjoy:
