My
Friend Earl E. Bird by International Playthings
My Infant nephew loved this toy it's multi-textures were just the thing for his new found senses -- Kevin Fillips Could there possibly be a more adorable and versatile
baby toy than Earl E. Bird? An updated version of the original Oppenheim
award-winning toy, this 19-inch-long colorful and cuddly bird--created
by child development experts--is a medley of interesting colors, textures,
patterns, and sounds. He's velvety in some places, bumpy in others; his
foot rattles and his beak crinkles. Pull apart his Velcro hugging wings
to find his friend, Squeak E. Mouse (squeeze him, he squeaks!), tucked
inside a chest pocket. Squeak comes out of the pocket but is tethered by
a green satin ribbon, so he won't get lost. Turn Earl around and unsnap
his red backpack; it folds down to reveal a 4-inch triangular safety mirror.
He's fully machine-washable and comes with a Velcro attaching loop so you
can hang him anywhere. The perfect companion for crib or car. (Ages 1 year
and up. ) --Elisabeth Fredrickson
Rated: NR
Starring: James Stewart, et al.
Director: Frank Capra
Now perhaps the most beloved American film, It's a Wonderful
Life was largely forgotten for years, due to a copyright quirk. Only in
the late 1970s did it find its audience through repeated TV showings. Frank
Capra's masterwork deserves its status as a feel-good communal event, but
it is also one of the most fascinating films in the American cinema,
a multilayered work of Dickensian density. George Bailey (played superbly
by James Stewart) grows up in the small town of Bedford Falls, dreaming
dreams of adventure and travel, but circumstances conspire to keep him
enslaved to his home turf. Frustrated by his life, and haunted by an impending
scandal, George prepares to commit suicide on Christmas Eve. A heavenly
messenger (Henry Travers) arrives to show him a vision: what the world
would have been like if George had never been born. The sequence is a vivid
depiction of the American Dream gone bad, and probably the wildest thing
Capra ever shot (the director's optimistic vision may have darkened during
his experiences making military films in World War II). Capra's triumph
is to acknowledge the difficulties and disappointments of life, while affirming--in
the teary-eyed final reel--his cherished values of friendship and
individual achievement. It's a Wonderful Life was not a big hit on its
initial release, and it won no Oscars (Capra and Stewart were nominated);
but it continues to weave a special magic. --Robert Horton
