Last year we reviewed Adventures in Lalaloopsy Land: The Search for Pillow which the toddler really enjoyed. Now for the first time you can journey beyond the rolling green hills of the original Lalaoopsy Land to an extraordinary place never seen before, where islands float on strawberry milk surrounded by tall mushroom trees to meet the Lala-Oopsies! The whimsical Lala-Oopsies are princess ballerinas, fairies and mermaids who love to throw tea parties, make sweets and knit treats. But their kingdom ends up in trouble when the strawberry milk, which powers Lala-Oopsies Land, suddenly stops flowing and our new friends need some…

We were sent a copy of Playing for Keeps to review, it’s billed as a romantic comedy with a bit of spice. It’s out to rent and own on DVD and Blu-ray from 20th May (RRP £15.99/£17.99).

I can’t tell you the last time I went to the cinema which is why I was very happy that Warner Brothers sent me Argo to review on DVD. Based on real events, the dramatic thriller chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis, focusing on the little-known role that the CIA and Hollywood played— information that was not declassified until many years after the event. I love films based on real life event and it certainly didn’t disappoint! On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its…

I admit that we watch cBeebies most days. The toddler has his favourite programmes and if he’s a bit bored with his toys he’ll often ask for “Beebs” as he likes to call it. We’re familiar with The Alphablocks who are 26 living letters who fall out of the sky and discover that if they hold hands and make a word, it magically comes to life. It has a very catchy theme tune! Big Brother was sent a new DVD which aims to help your child enter the magical world of reading with the hit CBeebies show, Alphablocks. Based on…
