Nana Star and the Moonman Video Review

Drew — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:04:50 +0000

Eva and I sit down to read Nana Star and the Moonman. Eva absolutely loves this book but what she loves much more is the audio track that goes with the story. We put both Nana star and Nana Star and the Moonman onto our ipods (including Eva’s) and she listens to it each night as she goes to bed. She even asks just for Nana Star. That actually beats out Paddington as the nighttime story on the iPod.

Nana Star Video Review

I’ve found that I don’t do near enough reviews on this blog so I will start doing some video reviews of the books I love reading to Eva. Here is my very first one. It is of the book Nana Star that I originally reviewed in 2008. The book was sent to me by the company Laugh Friendly to review and we really like it very much. Enjoy the video and let me know what you think.

Before Christmas I received a package from Elena from Laugh Friendly. Laugh Friendly is the company that publishes the Nana Star series of books. Well, they also have stuffed characters as well. The package I received was of The Oh-So-Very Pretty Nana Star Doll and the Moonman Lovey. The package had a note just letting me know that these toys were for me and no review or anything was needed. I contacted Elena from Laugh Friendly to let her know that we would be wrapping up these gifts and giving them to Eva for Christmas. We knew the grandparents were going to spoil Eva so we decided to do one big gift (The Laugh and Learn: Musical Learning Chair) and also give Eva these two toys.

Eva loves her Nana Star and Moonman toys. She has Moonman in her bed and loves to hug him and she takes Nana Star all around the house. Eva is not quite old enough to understand the Nana Star stories and so she is not role playing with the toys yet but she does enjoy them anyway.

If you are interested in learning more about Nana Star, the Moonman and Elizabeth Owens, the woman who created the Nana Star character please read my past posts.

Elizabeth Owens 1924-2008

I received a comment today on my Nana Star review. I was informed that the creator of Nana Star, Elizabeth Owens passed away. While this is certainly sad news her life her creativity and her work touch not only the lives of her family but many families across the world. The Nana Star books are collections of wonderful tales that parents can be proud to read to their children.

I urge you also take a look at the Nana Star Foundation. With each purchase of the Nana Star book a portion of the proceeds goes to the Nana Star foundation. not only does the foundation will donate to charitable and social action organizations but it also routinely gives Nana Star books and toys to schools, libraries, and hospitals throughout the country and around the world.
