Gave us both goosebumps.  Totally stunning.

“Collaborating with award-winning fantasy illustrator Charles Vess, Gaiman is releasing a gloriously rendered book of his poem, Instructions, later this month. But this animated short promo, narrated by Gaiman, is awesome in and of itself.”

Chez Polo

From the Winchester Library, we got a copy of Régis Faller’s Polo:  The Runaway Book…and it is so great. Sequential art, graphic novel, or children’s book…it is genius.

And there is a lot more at Faller’s (French-language) blog, Chez Polo.

Including some games…joue avec polo!  Ici!

Learning With The PooYoos On a whim, I decided to search through WiiWare to find a game that was more Miles’ speed (there’s only so much Mario Kart I can play with Miles watching, admittedly with rapt attention, and feel like even a vaguely good parent)…and I came upon Learning With the PooYoos (Episode 1). The basics of the game seem to be helping kids (ages 3 - 6) learn to use the wii controller…but Miles was answering the questions and dancing (!) to the weirdly catchy songs within minutes.  So, Miles digs it…and there’s finally more he can do on the wii than picking up and deleting miis or walking off ledges in Lego Star Wars.
