Clip: Lambert the Sheepish Lion

So Lambert ends up getting "delivered" to a flock of sheep by Mr. Stork who thought Lambert meant lamb. Right when Mr. Stark arrived, the mothers of the flock were gifted with their own baby lambs

All except one mother sheep who was upset. When Mr. Stork delivered Lambert, Lambert went right to this mother sheep. Mr. Stork tried to take lambert away, but mama sheep got mad and chased Mr. Stork away.

At first poor Lambert is teased by the other lambs. He's a big softie and the other lambs tease him for it

One day a wolf finds the flock and chases the mama sheep up on a cliff. She cried for Lambert to save her and at first he cowers and then it snaps and he goes to save his mama, chasing the wolf off the cliff.

So now the other lambs view Lambert differently and accept him in their group.

Clip: The Ugly Duckling

We all know the story. I still find this one to be one of the better ones.

Starts out with a mother duch hatching her ducklings but one seems off and ends up making the father duck leave the mother duck. Which leads the mother duck to shun the "ugly duckling." So the "ugly duckling" goes off looking for its real family. (This reminds me of the P.D. Eastman book Are You My Mother)

First a mother bird:

Then a wooden duck

Then finally a swam mother who he thinks will shun him, but doesn't and thus... happy ending

Video Clip: The Wise Little Hen

This wasn't a bad little Disney clip.

So this mother hen needs help to plant her corn at first, so she and her chicks go to Peter Pig and Donald Duck to ask if they will help. The two make up excuses so they can't plant corn and work with the mother hen. So the hen plants the corn herself with her chicks.

So now the hen needs help to harvest her corn and again she goes to Peter Pig and Donald Duck and again they make excuses so they don't have to. This time the hen catches them laughing about it before she goes to harvest her corn.

Now comes time to eat the corn and so when she goes over to Peter Pig and Donald Duck she brings them medicine for their stomach aches.

So Peter Pig and Donald Duck punish each other for being bad friends.

Book: The Red Pyramid

So this was an interesting book. Rick Riordan wrote the Percy Jackson series, I absolutely LOVED this series. It's about the greek gods having demi-god kids, but the way it was written was great.

This book is about two kids that have the bloodlines of Egyptian pharohs and end up hosting Isis and Horus, two Egyptian gods.

Carter and Sadie are siblings separated when their mother died. They got to see each other rarely, as Sadie lives with her grandparents and Carter travels the world with his dad. This time when they get to see each other, their dad brings them to a European museam and breaks an egyptian artifact that housed the big 5 gods.

This is how Carter and Sadie became hosts of Isis and Horus. Osiris went into their father and Set imprisons him. So Carter and Sadie meet their uncle Amos that tells them who that are, he ends up getting captured by Set. The House of Life helps them at first, although they do not approve of Egyptian gods, so they don't approve of Carter and Sie and they end up running from the House and Set.

They get some helt from their gods they are hosting and other gods and get into a lot of missions they have to complete so they can reach Set and free their dad

Horus/Carter ends up fighting Set, and Isis/Sadie end up helping by discovering the real secret, Chaos is trying to take over and the House and the gods have to work together. Orisis is the god of the dead so when they get rid of Set they don't exactly get rhtir father back.

I think the thing I didn't like about the book was the way it was written. Carter would narrate 2 chapters and  then Sadie would do 2 and it would bounce between them.
