An in-depth and personal look at the most popular and best-remembered local shows from the golden years of Detroit TV Long before cable, prepackaged syndication, infomercials, do-it-yourselfers, and reality shows cluttered the television dial, there was a brand of entertainment that has today nearly vanished from the airwaves: local TV. And with its colorful and quirky cast of characters, Detroit TV arguably offered some of the best of the best of local programming anywhere in the nation-a smorgasbord of exuberant, one-of-a-kind television shows. Based on actual interviews with the people who made Detroit TV, Gordon Castelnero's TV Land-Detroit awakens the emotional attachment and nostalgia our community has for these shows, bringing the beloved characters and memorable programs back to life. From the glamorous Rita Bell to the insanity of the Ghoul, the zany Jingles in Boofland to the opinionated and often confrontational Lou Gordon and the gruff-voiced and somnolent George Pierrot, Castelnero reacquaints us with the talent and behind-the-scenes people, of the creative spirit in Detroit, and the intimacy they shared with the community both on and off the air. Gordon Castelnero was a producer at WNIC radio for four years. He produced the acclaimed documentaries for WDIV and WTVS, Michigan, It Started Here Michigan and the American Dream, and Titanic: The Final Chapter. He currently lives in Livonia, Michigan, and works at Technicolor in DVD and game media distribution. He can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected]Binding Type: Paperback

Cute picturization
Format: Board book
Like the picturization really really cute sandpiper babies! You might have to come up with your names for the piper babies as the names given peep and piper don't stand out when narrating the story to kids. But it's a cute book to have.

We got this set for our baby shower and my 4 month old son LOVES them! He coos at every page. The pictures are amazing and I like how each page rhymes and has interesting facts about all the different animals.

Must have pre-schooler book on kindness/empathy
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is great because it gives lots of tangible acts of kindness that a toddler/preschooler can understand. It has a feel of preventing bullying by encouraging kindness towards your peers at a young age. It touches upon gratitude and empathy. There is a wonderful range of diversity in skin tones and also includes a child with waking aid & one with a hearing aid. Illustrations are bright and basic. Arms & hands of characters are sort of stiff, so while a previous review implies there is something wrong you would really have to be looking closely and making assumptions to find hands between the waist and knees doing anything wrong.

Inclusion- without making that the focal point!
Format: Hardcover
This book shows representation for physical disabilities and different skin tones without that being the headliner of the book. It also emphasizes being kind to anyone/ everyone - and not because they are different. Showing children with hearing aids drawing pictures to cheer someone up (with no mention of the disability) or showing a child with assisted walking needs planting seeds at a community garden- These children are not the victims of this book who need kindness, but are thoughtfully included to be spreading kindness to others.

This book is worth your time!
Format: Hardcover
Purchased this book because I’m in a Kindergarten classroom and teaching Kindness is so important to me. This book is beautifully illustrated with great art work that invokes questions. So much is going on in each page and children pay attention to it all! This book is worth getting and you will not regret it! I’m so glad I purchased it. I was gonna donate it to the class but I decided to keep it for when my niece and nephew come over to my house to sleepover. Great book!
