I found this Giraffe on Sunday. It was the Birdo I needed for Kids’ Month.
The entire mural feels like world of fun & toys.
I imagine this is a magic sock filled with creative ideas and projects.
The best is that it’s in a crevice in an alley where kids live and garbage is kept. This mini-mural works so well, the trash bins go almost unnoticed.
No one brightens cement city like Birdo!

Puffins are my fave bird, but I’ve never met one. Inese has, on the Island of Saltee. Her photographs of Puffins are the best I’ve ever seen. Inese, Thank you for your gorgeous photos, and for allowing me this reblog on Kids’ Month!
“All people young and old, are welcome to come, see and enjoy the islands, and leave them as they found them for the unborn generations to come see and enjoy.” – Michael the First
Even after I shared two posts on my Saltee experiences I still have a lot to say. I love this place.
When we arrived to Kilmore Quay to catch our motor boat, the sea looked rough. In the days of sail, the area around the Islands was known as “the graveyard of a thousand ships”. I cannot tell that I have a brilliant memory, but this sort of information somehow always gets stuck in my head.
We boarded our boats – twelve in each – and off we went. Not wanting to get soaked in salty wate, I went inside the boat, and it was a grave mistake. The waves were rolling over the boat; a few times…

Ste J reviews this book from Puffin Books, and I’m impressed. It sounds like a wonderful tale. Hey, did you know Ste j has 27 reviews in the “Children’s Literature” category on his blog? Book to the Future is a must follow!
Thirteen! proclaimed the clock, and then stopped striking. Tom’s mind gave a jerk: had it really struck thirteen?
For Tom – angry and alone – the stroke of thirteen brings an escape to another time.
A magical, secret time and place, where friendships await and nothing is as it seems…
Look at this particularly fantastic cover it just screams out ‘read me’, so I’m not sure why it took me so long to do just that. It wasn’t until I’d read the ending that I realised I had actually watched the wonderful BBC version in the 80’s, back when kids TV was made to be sinister and engrossing. I may have to do a post on that….
I have long been a firm believer that silence challenges the reader’s imagination and as ever I chose that medium in which to immerse myself in this wonderful book, a masterpiece the cover…

Aarrooo… yip … bark .. roo roo… aaarooo, yip!
Who goes there? Wolf or a coyote?
I’m a coyote, but I’m practicing to be a wolf.
Whoa, just hold on there!
I’m pretty sure once a coyote, always a coyote. Check out Cindy Knoke’s pictures of coyotes that she took! Click on the pic, and it will take you to her coyotes.
I changed my mind. I’m a wolf! Yip, bark, arooo, yip.
Not so fast little buddy! I’m going to ask my cousin Wilbear. He lives on a shipping container across town.
Howdy Beary! I’d say he’s a coyote.
Well, maybe you guys aren’t Grizzly Bears?
As sure as you and Beary live in the same mural, Beary and I are grizzlies. I’d like to add if people click on the mural above, they can see how splendid it is.
Also, if you click on Cindy‘s Grizzly pic below, you will be transported to Cindy’s pics of our real grizzly cousins!
Well, yip yip, aarooo!
A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. She has joined with me to help make Kids’ Month into a special time.

Frank, you’re a doll! First a party with ice-cream and cake, now a party of toys. You have helped to make Kids’ Month a lot of fun. I send you a party of Thank yous! Make that 2 parties of Thank yous!
Head over to Frank’s post to see all the close ups of the toys in this fabulous mural!
Can you name of these toy characters? Better yet did you have any of them or purchase any of these for kids?
I’m confident you identified the Star Wars characters as C-3PO, R2D2, Yoda, and the X-Wing fighter flown by the Rebel Alliance. Did you get Strawberry Shortcake holding the Spirograph wheel and the bear she made from Play-Doh? Cheer Bear (one of the original Care Bears)? Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (from Ghostbusters) on Batman’s back?
Surely you got Mr. Potato Head! But, did you recognize The Purple Pieman feeding a pie from the Easy Bake Oven to the T-Rex from Jurassic Park? The fury animal from the Littlest Pet Shop in the Ghostbusters’ vehicle? The character and car from M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand)?
This ArtWorks mural – Cincinnati’s Toy Heritage – located at 23 West Court Street in downtown Cincinnati – is a tribute to Kenner Toys –…
