“Who could love a girl named Beezus?” Selena Gomez poses this question in the movie Ramona and Beezus, which opened last weekend. And here’s our answer: WE could — and we do!

Both Karen and Nancy left the theater with huge grins on their faces, and much love for both Quimby sisters — but especially Joey King as the irrepressible Ramona. Why? Well, you’ll have to tune into our video review to find out:

(PS – If you’re like Ramona and would rather use your imagination, feel free to skip the visuals and download the audio.)

Have you seen the movie? Leave a comment with YOUR review! How do you think it compared to the books?

O hai. You knew it was unavoidable. Our current theme is cats, so how could we resist doing a KidsmomoMO video in LOLspeak? Answer is: we couldn’t.

Of course, the feline characters in our cat book recommendations don’t all care about cheezburgers, so tune in to see what these kidlit kitties would say if they were lolcats:

Yes, our current theme is war stories in honor of Memorial Day — but that doesn’t mean we’re not setting aside time for some fun and games this holiday weekend. And you know what that means? Probably not, but we’re gonna tell you: it’s time for another round of KidsmomoMo Pictionary!

If you watched Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3 of our competition, then you know the drill: all the answers are titles from our booklists for past themes, and Karen is consistently humiliated by her lack of drawing skills. But will she turn things around in Round 4? You’ll have to watch to find out!

So tune in and play along! How many titles can YOU guess?

If you’ve followed our edible exploits over the last few days, then you know that it’s finally time for the culmination of our culinary competition. That’s right, people — it’s FOOD FIGHT TIME!

For our food theme, we each cooked up a dessert based on a children’s book. Then we presented our sweets to a panel of judges without revealing who made which dish.

Whose cuisine reigned supreme? Watch our KidsmomoMO video to find out:

Whether you’re a water-loving child of Poseidon, the master strategist offspring of Athena, or a quick-tempered Ares descendant, we know there’s only one movie on your mind right now — Lightning Thief, based on Book 1 in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

The film hit theaters on February 12th, and of course we were there to catch it on opening weekend. But the question is: should you see it too? Tune in to our video review to find out — and to hear us make fools of ourselves performing a special tribute to Percy (seriously, how can you resist?):
