Get Your Copy of Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book!


Photo-A-Day #3570

We received a copy of Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book on DVD to watch and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

Eva and I sat down to watch this DVD because she is a fan of Izzy from Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Izzy has always been her favorite character. Even after watching the show Eva does some pretend play as Izzy. At this point in the series Jake and the Never Land Pirates have met a lot of people who are part of the Never Land mythos. They have met Peter Pan and Tinker Bell and now they I think this is the first time that Wendy and John and Michael have been on the show. The basic story to this episode is that Jake and his pals are recruited by none other than Peter Pan to help Wendy and the Darling children when Captain Hook steals Wendy’s book of stories about Never Land.

The episode is a good one with lots of fun where the “puny pirates” are working together to help save the book from Captain Hook. Captain Hook does not like hearing himself portrayed as a bumbling oaf and that is why he sets off to steal Wendy’s Book. Through the course of the story we learn that it is Wendy’s book that is keeping their stories including Captain Hook’s story alive. Without the book then their stories cannot be told or shared.

The DVD also contains additional 4 additional episodes plus 10 cartoon shorts, “Jake’s Never Land Pirate School” and an exclusive pirate bandana that doubles as a checkerboard. You’ve to to pass the time sailing on Bucky or the Jolly Roger somehow. Why not play some checkers.

Here are some fun activity sheets that you can print out and play.

Review: Peter Pan Diamond Edition Blu-ray

We watched the Diamond Edition Blu-ray of Peter Pan this afternoon. Eva enjoyed most of the movie but she has always been afraid of Captain Hook. The only version of Captain Hook that she is not afraid of is the one from Jake and the Never Land Pirates. She was also afraid of the Indians. She loved so many portions of the movie but since she’s a sensitive kid overall she said that she didn’t like the movie. I’m just pretty sure that she couldn’t separate the scenes with Hook with the fact that everything works out in the end. Continue reading Review: Peter Pan Diamond Edition Blu-ray →

App Review: Peter Pan Storybook Classics App

Image from the Peter Pan Classic Storybook App from Disney

Eva and I received a copy of this Peter Pan Disney Classics Storybook App to review on the iPad. The first thing I noticed when I opened the app was that you could personalize it for your child with their photo and their name. That is a great little feature especially the ability to put in the photo. Eva liked that a lot. You can choose from an existing photo or take one through the app.

The storybook is beautiful with original illustrations. These are very much like paintings and have such a great classic feel to them. the narration is well done and each page has interactivity in that you child can click on any character and hear their name and see the word for that name come up. There are also options along the way to stop and color a picture. Continue reading App Review: Peter Pan Storybook Classics App →

My Mom got Eva this beautiful book called The Hidden World of Fairies (Disney Fairies) (Aff Link). This is such a wonderful book too. Eva and I have read the entire thing together. It is written as if it is the journal of Wendy. The journal was given to her by Peter Pan and in it Wendy writes her observations of the fairies. There are things like fold out maps, a guide to animal languages and so many other fun thing. There are some jokes that grown ups will get and there is of course the beautiful Disney Art. This book is a primer for the book In the Realm of the Never Fairies: Secret World of Pixie Hollow, The (Disney Fairies) (Aff Link) which Allison and I bought on one of our Disney trips. We are so excited to be going back in September (but don’t tell Eva it is a surprise, plus if you tell her that we are going 3 months before we do then she’s gonna ask every single day till we go, and do you really want to do that to us?)
