Hamlet

Thanks to my awesome English teacher my senior year of high school, Mr Sharrett, Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare play. He taught it to us from the perspective that Hamlet was a "rockstar," that he was brilliant, and that he was not, in fact, crazy. Reading all of Hamlet's clever insults from the perspective that he was just pretending to be crazy in order to throw everyone off his trail, makes them that much more clever and funny to me.

What We're Reading ~ One Sheep, Blue Sheep

This book is one that both my three year old AND my one year old love! E likes it because she gets to laugh at the silly sheep and say "Kerplunk!" and "Splat!" along with the book. C loves it mainly because of the holes in the pages and how she can grab them and turn the pages and look through. Plus, she loves sheep and says "Baa!" throughout the book. Not only do my kids love this book, but I love it too! The verses in the book are so catchy, and it's just plain fun to read out loud. The book has five silly sheep who get covered in different colors of paint in a variety of silly ways, The kids get to learn colors, and the pictures depict a variety of farm chores, so you can talk about those too if you want. Great board book! Definitely one of our most-read books!

Find it here on Redbubble!  Tinker Bell

What We're Reading ~ Ready Player One

Here's a short synopsis of Ready Player One, with NO spoilers (you're welcome). Along with that, is a short, very basic review of the movie. I'm no pro, but I do love books and movies! Ready Player One is set in a dystopian not-too-distant future. Life in 2044 is not awesome. Society has collapsed into war, the environment has been ruined, the economy has tanked, people are starving, but there is is one shining beacon amidst all the chaos and poverty: the Oasis. The Oasis, created by technological genius, James Halliday, is the ultimate virtual reality video game. Players are immersed in a completely different world, even attending virtual school there and buying virtual real estate and businesses. Meet our hero, Wade Watts. Or, as he's known in the Oasis, Parzival. He's a high school senior from Chicago, who is also a die-hard Gunter.  Now, let's back things up five years. James Halliday has just died, and upon his death a video is released to...
