The Okapi and the Sloth and soon...a Tucan

Hi, Page Turner here! A few days ago, I sort of dared myself to write a post that included ice cream, calendars, a mailman, unicorns, poetry, and, oh yeah, an elephant. (I just threw the last one on as I was ending that post. ) Okay, here I go!
   My favorite animals are like ice cream flavors, calendar pages, weather patterns, and the times...they are a changin'. Yup, like the aforesaid, my favorite animals are always changing. Of course, I will always love my Fox, my dog, and Fluff, Snowball, Peanut, and Groucho, my cats, the best. But the other animals...those be a changin'. Like right now, I love the okapi.This creature looks
a little like a giraffe, with knob-like structures on its forehead. It can actually lick these structures with its tongue! Yes, the tongue of the okapi is an amazing muscle designed by God, with far-reaching abilities! Also, the okapi was once thought to be a unicorn. Not only that, but this amazing creature wasn't discovered by the scientific community until a little over a hundred
years ago! That's a long time for such a noticeable and important and large animal. The okapi is actually considered a living fossil, which is great evidence for creation! For more information, go to Answers in Genesis. :) Okay, so I mentioned that favorite animals are like ice cream flavors, and we all know that we have MULTIPLE ice cream flavors at all times, so my other favorite animal right now is the sloth! This little guy is so cute and
funny--the picture doesn't do him justice! Amazing and unique creatures, God created the sloth in such an amazing way. They are the slowest mammal, lack the muscles to shiver, sleep 18 HOURS a day, and can swim 3 times faster in water. Also, they still so long that they grow fungus and algae on their fur that helps them blend in. That's just so cool! God designed the slow-moving sloth with everything it need to live. That's just so cool! He is an amazing Creator!

 Well, that's it! Next time I'll be talking about Prattling with Paige, inspired by Adventures in Odyssey's own mailman and his blog. Also, I'll include poetry. That's right, just like an elephant, the only mammal who can't jump, I remembered! (I'm like the elephant because I remembered, not because I can't jump.) Hah! I did it! I got it all in! See you later! As the sloth to the right says, "Hang Loose!"

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

Marvel Movies Review

Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these...      Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more...
