COOL STUFF

Micro II Total Fit System

Rollerblade has revolutionized the industry after introducing their Micro II Total Fit System laceless skates designed for the most comfortable and secure fit for children. Instead of using traditional laces, the skates come equipped with a simple dial. The Total Fit System cord wraps around the skate and secures it to your child’s foot, all the while remaining relaxed and protected. The biggest perk of this new skate design is that, as we all know, children grow up quickly and can sometimes shoot up one to two shoe sizes every year, but this design allows the skate to be worn for several seasons, as its design allows for growth and is easily adjustable.

COOL BOOKS

Wolf! Wolf! By John Rocco

A clever twist on The Boy Who Cried Wolf, this story tells the tale from an aging wolf’s point of view—a wolf that also hears the boy’s fake alarm and falls for it just like the villagers do. The elderly wolf, now just a gardener plagued by a massive growth of weeds, inspects the boys cries each time, and, of course, by the boy’s third “warning,” not a single villager shows up, knowing they have been fooled. The wolf does. With the boy now up a tree in fear, the two make a deal—one that ends in ironic but sweet circumstances. Rocco writes and illustrates this clever spin on the traditional story, and it’s one that you can appreciate while you’re entertaining your children.
