Kid’s Book Review: Betti On The High Wire

It’s fun to think about what you’d do after winning the lotto.  With millions in the bank, what would you buy first: cars, houses, a personal submarine?  For years, my post-lottery wish list included season tickets to Michigan State Men’s Basketball & Football, and to the Detroit Red Wings @ […]

Watch This: Oran Etkin “Wake Up, Clarinet”

Not many kid’s musicians can sling quotes from Harvey Keitel, Naomi Watts, Ken Burns, Edie Falco and Liev Schreiber.

So Much Time So Little To Do

Review: Hershey’s Chocolate World

We’ve been to Hershey a few times, but the girls and I made the 1 hour and 15 minute drive west again yesterday morning with a single-minded purpose: to test-drive CREATE YOUR OWN CANDY BAR, the faux-factory’s latest attraction. The main draw of Hershey’s Chocolate World has been, for many […]
