Reindeer or Applehead DECEMBER 10, 2018

Reindeer or Applehead Chihuahua 3 in 1 Cuddly Fun toy

If you are looking for a unique and fun toy for you kids this holiday season then you have got to check out the Reindeer or Applehead Chihuahua 3 in 1 Cuddly Fun toy. The below was provided to me to help facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines.

The Baldwin Herald - November 27 - December 3, 2008

These things are so cute and so fun for kids. My Daughter absolutely loves her. This is a bag that they can keep their things in while you are out and get this it’s also a muff so your child can slide their hands in it to keep them warm. We went to a tree lighting last night and our daughter brought her bag with her because we knew it was going to be chilly and we got there an hour before the event even started. She was able to keep a few small snack packs and a small toy to keep her entertained in her bag and when her hands got cold she just simply slipped them in the muff area.

We got so many compliments about this bag, it’s just so unique and fun. I decided to get more of these to give as gifts to my nieces and nephews who live in colder areas and I am so excited to see how well the like them. You guys these make awesome gifts that your kids will love, and will want to show off to their friends.

So if you are still looking for something unique and fun to get your kids for the holiday season then you should definitely get them one of these bags or more than one because they are just so cute it’s really hard to choose a favorite one. I even ended up getting one that I use, I will keep my chapstick and a few other essentials in this and use it when I know we are going to be somewhere to cold to help keep my hands warm when gloves aren’t an option.

 

 

THE WRITE STUFF - BALDWIN AUTHOR TO HOLD BOOK SIGNING

On November 29, from noon to 1 p.m., Barnes & Noble will be hosting a "Meet The Author" with Baldwin mom, Diane Baumann-Corrado, in their Manhasset location at 1542 Northern Blvd, where she will be autographing two of her children's books. Five years ago, Baldwin mom, Diane Baumann-Corrado, wrote an award winning song called "Show Dog", which later inspired a childrens picture book which contains the CD attached to the back cover and an easy-to-read piano/guitar music sheet. Next, a companion coloring book was added. To make a three-piece girl's gift set, Diane designed various muff/handbag/plush animals to compliment the set, and for boys, a Show Dog Puzzle is used as the third piece. Baumann-Corrado engaged Jan Perlow, a former Baldwin resident, to be the graphic artist for the project. "Show Dog" is also the title track to the "dogumentary" entitled "Caution" Show Dogs", a film by Leslye Abbey of Bellmore, which Baumann-Corrado narrated. Baumann-Corrado didn't stop there. She developed another picture book from a song entitled "I Wanna Be Purr-fect (Show Cat)", and engaged the graphic services of artist, Michael Kanarek, for this project. A similar picture book set was created for this project as well. Now, a third and fourth book are in teh works and planned for a 2009 holiday season release. These new, innovative, and interactive packages cleverly combine the worlds of children, music and animals, three of the biggest markets that exist today in the retail industry, according to Baumann-Corrado. Baumann-Corrado invested her own money to develop, manufacture and produce the merchandising and intellectual properties, and now, various stores around the country carry this product line. The merchandise can also be found on Target.com and many, many websites around the world. The books are separately distributed by Book Clearing House Fulfillment and Distribution in Harrison, N.Y. Book Clearing House is affiliated with Ingram Book Company, the largest wholesaler of books in the world. In addition, Baumann-Corrado belongs to Artists in Schools, where she will be available to do programs in schools around the metro area. QVC has selected some of Diane's products to be included in their line-up and a 2009 national and international television launch is already scheduled. Baumann-Corrado's next book is being animated and a story board is being developed for either a television cartoon or movie. For more information about Baumann-Corrado and her work, please contact dcorrado@optonline.net or please visit her website at: www.chanteusemusic.com to view the entire product line. - Mike Russo

LONG ISLAND ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - JUNE 2003

ON THE SILVER SCREEN

Producer & Videographer: Leslye Abbey/Snowflake Productions Directed By: David Patrick & Leslye Abbey Edited By: Michael Zombro/Aerolith/Diaspora Studios Narrated By: Diane Corrado Ever sit down and ponder how many parallel universes are going on all over the planet simultaneously? You could sit at a busstop with five people and though you're all sharing that space for a brief time, the interests, passions and realities each person subscribes to may have very little to do with any of the others. After viewingCaution: Show Dogs, you may feel as it you've been transported to a world dimensions away, but you certainly will return from the journey with a whole new concept of sensibilities. Billed as a "Dogumentary" and opening in select theatres on the Island this month, Caution: Show Dogs is the fruit of videographer Leslye Abbey's obvious love for dogs, competitive shows and unusual people. Co-directing with David Patrick, Abbey shows a knack for keeping a documentary moving, neatly assembling a lot of amusing and idiosyncratic profiles of individuals who define themselves through unique dogs. Editor Michael Zamboro does a stellar job of slicing and splicing to keep the piece rolling nicely. What will no doubt make it a little more interesting to Islanders is that the show people in the spotlight here are from our backyard. For those of you who caught Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy's brilliant 2001 film, Best In Show, a superb goof on the subject of elite Dog Shows and the people and pets that make them what they are, Caution will serve to remind you just how letter-perfect Guest's spoof was. For those unfamiliar with Guest's riotously funny send-up (He's currently basking in the glow of A Mighty Wind), Caution will provide a relentless parade of laughs as well...some intentional, some just the bi-product of unusual personalities that can't control their obsessions. The wide variety of show dogs are sometimes beautiful, sometimes magnetically unusual and, in the case of the puppies, terrific fun. Abbey doesn't miss an opportunity to capture the dogs doing their things, using her sharp eye to catalogue everything from the dogs in performance to behind-the-scenes insights like breeding and training. The film will function equally well for the devoted fan of this world and the passing, uninformed fancy that wants to learn. What really makes the picture, however, are the people who devote their lives to their animals, from a woman who wants to be buried with the ashes of her dogs that have passed before her to recollections of people that have been in the shows for years. There are plenty of funny moments, ranging from the intentional (A person who's not shy about talking about a judge they resent) to the unintentional (A dog that won't stop growling throughout an interview). There's plenty of "quirky" running throughout. With a fine musical score by Don Sands, who playfully soundtracks the mood, a cute theme song sung by Diane Corrado, distinguished recording artist and local radio personality (who also narrates with dynamic enthusiasm), Caution: Show Dogs provides a lot of fun moments because it succeeds on a lot of different levels. Leslye Abbey has a nice touch for film-making and this should be another fine cog in an evolving career. For further information, you can visit them at snowflake.com. If you love animals or unusual people, Caution: Show Dogs will be the cat's pajamas to you. - Fred Frankel

LONG ISLAND ENTERTAINMENT - LONG ISLAND BOOKS - April 2004

SHOW DOG

Written by Diane Corrado, Illustrated by Robin Kramer Maybe you've seen Christopher Guest's movie spoof, Best In Show. Well, now, here's the real thing -- a book about show dogs and their owners -- with a coloring book and CD, too! Diane Corrado has written a wonderful children's book called Show Dog, with kid-friendly drawings of many pedigree show dogs by Robin Kramer. Children are introduced to the world of show dogs from the cute Chihuahua to the big Great Dane. Children can identify different types of dogs by sight and by name while learning about the lifestyle of a show dog owner. For example, the illustration of the Chinese Crested with its owner drowining in a sea of dirty dishes in the background shows how household chores can sometimes take a back seat to the lovable dogs. This is a good book for children who love animals and may want to work with animals. Robin Kramer's illustrations capture the friendliness of many different breeds. The best illustrations show the mischievousness that children will giggle at. Dalmations, cross-eyed and eager to play, press their noses and paws up against a window; a Brittany Spaniel and Pekingese, one slobbering on the desk and one chewing a bone, coax their owner from the computer to play; and the Lhasa Apsos, peeking out from behind a couch, roll around and shed all over the place. These scenes are a delight! The book is accompanied by a CD with a catchy song also called "Show Dog", as co-written by Dine Corrado and Mark Eisemann and sung by Corrado. The sheet music for the song is included in the book so that children and their parents may sing along to fun lines like "Now the housekeeping suffered but we never cared 'cause it's only a few nose prints and a little more hair!" The song is simple and catchy enough that those who play instruments may also play along. The song was chosen as the theme song for a documentary on show dogs by award-winning filmmaker, Leslye Abbey, called Caution: Show Dogs. The documentary was signed to international distribution by the Cinema Guild of NYC. The book Show Dog works on many learning and creative levels. Children learn about the different types of show dogs, the lifestyle of the show dog owner, playing and listening to music, and counting the number of dogs (twenty-two in all). I would recommend this book for children ages three and up. There is also a Show Dog coloring book which features the same drawings as are in the book, but the spaces are left blank so the children may color them in. Choosing colors for the dogs is another way for children to enter the world of show dogs and express their own creativeness. Both Show Dog and the Show Dog coloring book will be available online at: www.21stcenturymusicradio.com. They both make wonderful gifts for your child. - Kate Donohue

THE BELLMORE HERALD - February 3, 2003

DOG'S WORLD CAUGHT ON TAPE

"It's essentially about funny people and beautiful dogs." That's how Bellmorite Leslye Abbey characterizes her new documentary, "Caution: Show Dogs!", which premiered at the Malverne Cinema on Jan. 30. A packed audience laughed and cheered throughout the 108-minute feature that highlighted the dedication and hard work of dog breeders.The film was co-directed by Abbey's friend and mentor, David Patrick, of Freeport.The theme song, which drew high praise from the audience, was written by Diane Corrado of Baldwin. "I couldn't have done with without them," Abbey said. "And that theme song...it was wonderful! People are constantly asking to buy a CD of it!" You don't have to be a show dog owner to enjoy this film, but it helps. While educational and entertaining to those who have never entered a competitive ring, veterans of the sport raved about the film's humor and depth. "Caution: Show Dogs" revolves around four top dog breeders and their love affair with their breeds of choice. The Chinese Crested, Lhasa Apsa, Australian Shephard, and Afghan Hound are featured. Leslye Abbey is no stranger to film-making. Creator of Snowflake Productions, Abbey has traveled the globe in a quest to make films that reflect the human spirit. She found her passion in New Mexico, as a clinical and cultural social worker with Southwestern Indians. In 1998, she traveled to India and Nepal to create "Dharamasala/Tibet in Exile", a film about the exiled government of Tibet and the struggles and dreams of the Tibetan people under Communist Chineses rule. The film won the Humanitarian Award at the Long Island International Film Festival. Her second documentary, "Bob's Rolling Reefer", won the 2000 Long Island Film Festival Best Documentary Award. Abbey had bred and shon Lhasa Apsas in the late 1960s and has since wanted to make a movie about dogs. "The animal spirit is very powerful", she said, "and it lead me to do this film. This was a very spiritual project for me." Abbey began filming in 2000, a process she described as very difficult, "though the dog owners themselves were wonderful and helpful." "Dog shows are a subculture all their own, and the manifestation of human expression and bond with an animal is extraordinary. "I wanted to make this movie to let dog people laugh at themselves, expose the politics and explore the intimacy of breeders and dogs as they endeavor to perfect the genes of show dogs." In fact, Snowflake Productions was inspired by Snowflake, a Lhasa Ahpsa owned by Abbey. Abbey is currently looking for a distributor for her video of the movie, T-shirts, and theme song, all of which sold very well at the premier. Other Snowflake documentaries include "Cindy the Tattoo Maven" and "Iowa State Fair". She is now seeking funding for two new projects, one about the Cajun people and their struggle to retain their lifestyle on the Atchafalaya River basin in Louisiana, and another about a leprosy colony in Senegal. Abbey is looking to show "Caution: Show Dogs" again at a time to be determined. For questions, or to purchase a video, contact Leslye Abbey at (516)679-8216 or e-mail snowflakevideo@aol.com.

AURAL FIX - Discovery

Volume 7 - Issue 6 - June 2004 By - RH

Show Dog

A few months back, I reviewed the CD single, "Show Dog" by Diane Corrado, the hostess of WGBB radio "21st Century Music Radio" show. The song is the theme song for a documentary entitled Caution: Show Dogs. I referred to the single as "a fun ditty performed in a ragtime kind of style." Ms. Corrado and Kidz Entertainment have now released the single in a new and innovative package. Corrado, a mother herself, has managed to cleverly combine her interest in children, dogs and music which includes a "Show Dogs" coloring book, and an interactive DVD that not only contains the single, but also brings the coloring book to life online. I'm surprised no one has thought of something like this before. Then again, often fine ideas seem obvious once someone thinks of them. In any event, kudos to Ms. Corrado for putting together a fun and creative package that any dog-loving family with young children would enjoy. -RH

Baldwin Herald - October 28, 2004

IT'S A DOG'S LIFE

By Jesse Sherer Baldwinite's new children's book aims to win over kids and animal lovers alike. Diane Corrado spent much of her childhood surrounded by the world of music and performing arts. After moving to Baldwin with her family at the age of 5, she took ballet lessons, tap classes, and voice training to refine her artistic gifts. The lessons worked, as she spent much of her free time on stage singing, dancing and acting while a student at Baldwin Senior High School. Today, this mother of two has expanded her audience, singing for children and animal lovers. She is the president of Kidz Entertainment, Inc., and the creator and the voice behind "Show Dogs", a compilation of music, art, and reading for young children and animal lovers alike. "Show Dogs" is a children's picture book complete with easy-to-read words, but also contains piano and guitar music sheets, as well as a CD for kids to sing along with the words (and lyrics) of the story they are reading. Corrado is very proud of the finished product. "This combines the worlds of children, music and animals" she said. In addition, Corrado is also marketing a music CD greeting card for all occasions, with lyrics written especially for animal lovers. Corrado got the inspiration for "Show Dog" in 2001, when she was asked by Bellmore resident Leslye Abbey to contribute a song for the "dogumentary" film, "Caution: Show Dogs". Her song, which she describes as being "a little ragtime", told the story of a show dog. The movie didn't smash any box office records, but it did win Corrado some fans. She received several calls from people saying they enjoyed her song. "I got so much praise on this song that I decided to develop other intellectual properties from it", she said. Her "Say It With Song" card line came first, and the reception was positive, Corrado said. "It's just a completely different idea," she said. "There was nothing else like it." She then commissioned an illustrator to capture the words of her song in kid-friendly illustrations. The feedback was again positive, Corrado said. She took the idea one step further, and asked the illustrator to produce sketches, so kids readhing along could color the picture themselves. Thus, the coloring book was born. Corrado is marketing all of her products herself, which appears on her Website, Chanteusemusic.com. This can be an arduous task, she said. She is hunting for a publishing company to pick up her idea, so she can spread the gift of song to animal lovers all around the country, and help keep her from spreading herself too thin. She holds down two other jobs besides her singing and writing. "I'm like a one man band here," she said. Until then, though, she will market her items herself. Retailers in other areas of the country are buying her items in greater numbers than local outlets, she said. The book, complete with CD and music sheet, is available for $14.95. The coloring book sells for $4.95. Next on the horizon for Corrado is, naturally, "Show Cats". "If there's one for dogs, of course there has to be one for cats," she said.
