Review:

With this one-of-a-kind product, and the boys in your family, having two swords for fun-loving combat, will most likely be much better than one. Let the games begin! These high-impact swords are made for full-contact practice or, with proper safety equipment, for sparring. Weighing in at just two pounds, these durable polyethelyne swords are the perfect answer for the risk faced with wooden swords which can splinter. These beginner weapons may leave a bruise, but they won’t cut — and they’re virtually unbreakable. The type of swords your boys dream about!

Swords have a blade length of 44″, thickness of 1″ — perfect for lots of action, and designed to hold up under all kinds of boyhood battle use.

In a nutshell:I personally recommend these swords, the best sword I have found so far. I whacked them as hard as I could, not even a notch. If you have boys who want to practice their sword fighting, this is for them!

Book Review: Billy and Blaze

Billy and Blaze, by C. W. Anderson

Review by Caden Smith

Publish date: first, 1936, Macmillan Publishing Co.

Pages: 48

Time Period: Middle 1900’s

Age Range: 7-11

Review:

Billy is a boy who likes horses very much. Because he didn’t have one, he often borrowed a neighbor’s horse to ride. However, on one of his birthdays, Billy’s parents told him to look outside, and there was a surprise – his very own horse. Billy named him Blaze because of the white blaze down his nose. From that day on, Billy and Blaze were best friends!

In a nutshell:

There are several books in the Billy & Blaze series and they are wonderful for boys. They are about the life of a boy and his horse, full of fantastic adventures, and encourage boys to be thoughtful, kind and alert. There is one caution: in some of the books, Billy picks up stray dogs. This shows he has the character quality of kindness. However, be careful when approaching a stray dog, because it may be dangerous and harmful. Always check with a parent first.
