I had a GigaPet when I was younger and I was obsessed!! This is a great toy for younger kids especially if they don’t have any pets. This toy is so awesome because you have to be responsible with it!

With this toy you have to feed it, put it to bed, play with it and find more ways to entertain it. When I had a GigaPet I named it, which made it even more like an actual pet! There are many different colors and types, which is so fun!

There are different GigaPets to choose from. Some are bunny, pixie, kitty, puppy and frog. Some versions include three pets.

I love Pokémon! My friends Lindsey and Landen got me interested in Pokémon. My favorite Pokémons are Pikachu and Charizard. I like to read Pokémon books and collect Pokémon things, too.

I got a Poké Ball, and it is really cool. It lights up and changes colors, and it’s sensitive to your hands. The Poké Ball is a replica and a prop. I have it on my dresser in my room. My Papa got it for me for Christmas from Amazon. I wanted it because it is really cool. It’s the size of a baseball, and it is metal. I want more Poké Balls, but they’re around $100.

I have loved trains ever since I watched Thomas the train when I was little and I want to be a train engineer when I grow up. I was excited when I was asked to play a board game called Crazy Trains and write a review.

 Ugly? Have you ever thought about where the “ugly sweater” came from? The National Day calendar says it started as a joke. A resale retail store noticed an unruly amount of unfortunate sweaters knitted by relatives—or ridiculously decorated ones—coming in their doors. As a joke they put them up for sale.

 Who is your favorite superhero? Superman, Batgirl or even Spider-Man? Imagine what it would be like to dress up as your favorite superhero and help others! Christina Fay, President of Justice League Arizona, does just that!

 “I’ve been a fan of DC Comics since I was a little girl. I dressed up as Supergirl for Comic-Con where I was recruited,” she says. Fay is 23 and got involved in the Justice League five years ago. This is her first year as president. Fay says that she is the first female president.
