If you haven’t read The Three Robbers by Tomi Ungerer, Bunch’s own Rebecca Brown says you’re missing out. It’s a favourite for both her 3-year-old girl (Rose) and her 7-year-old boy (Sam).
The Story: The three robbers rip off carriages. One day they hit a carriage that contains no treasure other than an orphan girl named Tiffany. So they steal her, make her a comfy bed in their cave and save her from a life with a wicked aunt. When she asks what they do with all the jewels and money they’ve stolen, the robbers are dumbfounded. So they decide to buy a castle and gather up “all the lost, unhappy and abandoned children.”

Yesterday we gave you our list of the 7 best Halloween movies for families, rated for scariness by our in-house film critic, 5-year-old Sam. A number of you sounded off in the comments to let us know we had left a few choice movies off our list. And now we have esteemed film critic Richard Crouse weighing in.
Richard Crouse’s 3 favourite Halloween movies
1. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
“This is a family classic, a story that hasn’t aged at all since it was first seen on television in 1966.”
2. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
“Funny and colourful, this is one asks the question, Who will protect the enormous vegetables from the gigantic Were-Rabbit during Lady Tottington’s family’s 517th annual Giant Vegetable Fete? Wallace and Gromit is the delightful answer.” Read more...
Sometimes we think certain boy singers are chicks when we first hear them on the radio, then we hear their names and go, “Oh.” It’s a biological thing, and those dudes can’t help it. The fact is that many a male artist is in possession of a trademark lilting soprano until the big P hits.
Unless you’ve been backpacking through South America for the last year, you know that our favourite girly-sounding pop singer is Justin Bieber. We think he is adorable. And when we saw the Biebs live in Toronto last month, we saw many under-10s with their moms and very bored dads. Hopefully, if your kids are fans, they don’t love him to the point of sobbing when they hear one of his songs (though if they do, it might land them a spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live). Read more...
Bunchland is all about making sure your family has the best time, and that includes when you go to the movies. We hate to see you waste your hard-earned dollars (and two hours that could be spent playing outside) on a big stinker of a movie.
On that note, we give you Big Thumb, Little Thumb: video movie reviews from families. Sort of like Siskel and Ebert, but with parents and kids. Once a month, we’ll go see a movie before it hits theatres and give you the lowdown. Did we love it and are we dying to see it again? Or was it a big sucky suckfest that you should run away screaming from? You’ll get a full recap from our trusted panel of experienced film critics. They may not have fancy “film school” degrees or anything, but they know movies. Read more...
