Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir DVD



Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir DVD
Shout! Factory, 2016. DVD

By day, Mariette Dupain-Cheng is an awkward and sometimes clumsy girl living in the beautiful city of Paris. But she is hiding a BIG secret. Whenever Paris comes under attack she changes into Ladybug, a superhero who uses her powers to fight the forces of evil. Her super sidekick is a mysterious boy her own age that she knows only as Cat Noir. What Marinette doesn't know is that behind his mask Cat Noir is actually a member of her class at school--a boy named Adrien Agreste--on whom she secretly has a huge crush.

Miraculous is a fun new cartoon that is a joy to behold from beginning to end. The CGI graphics are brilliant, colorful, and richly rendered. The cast of characters is diverse and engaging. Girl power abounds--but Cat Noir and the important part he plays in each adventure is nothing to sneeze at. Both laugh-out-loud-hilarious and even poignant at times, this DVD is sure to be extremely popular, especially with tweens.

Review: The House with Nobody in It

  The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book.  The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story.  This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
