Soul Surfer Review

The movie Soul Surfer is based on a true story about Bethany Hamilton. Bethany is a great surfer who never gives up. When something devastating happens will she stick to dream (surfing) or give up? I like this movie because it is based on a true story and it has a moral. I would give this movie 5 stars.

Ecotastic Kid Tip: Buy this movie used instead of buying it new!

The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book Review

If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, you should get the The Wimpy Kid Do-It Yourself Book! You can do lots of fun activities in this book. There are also lots of comics in the book. You can even make your own diary with some pages in the back. I like this book because it has everyone's favorite Wimpy Kid characters (Greg Heffley and Rowley), funny comics, and fun activities. It is for ages 8-12.

Ecotastic Kid Challenge: Plant a Tree

Trees help us survive so we need to keep them safe. When you cut down a lot of trees it makes the earth get hotter and hotter. People need oxygen to survive and when we pollute trees help clean the air. Make a difference and plant a tree to help our earth. It will make you feel happy when you do it too.

Minion Rush App Review

Minion Rush is an app you can play on your tablet. It is based on everyone's favorite movies, Despicable Me 1 and 2. There are several different levels you can beat. They have clothes for your Minion character that you can buy with earned coins/bananas (or with real money). I give this app 5 stars for being super fun!
