5.0 out of 5 stars Hello Kitty 2006 Wall Calendar, November 12, 2005

By

This review is from: Hello Kitty, Hello USA! 2006 Wall Calendar (Calendar)

This is a beautiful calendar to have in one's room and it also makes a delightful gift (for Christmas, birthdays, etc). I bought it for my kid sister recently (who's a big Hello Kitty fan). Of all the calendars I see in the stores, I think the Hello Kitty calendar is still the CUTEST, most colorful and most value-for-money. Each month is represented by a most adorable full-color picture of Hello Kitty. Also included are 2 pages of stickers (featuring Hello Kitty and her Sanrio friends) and a lovely poster (that you can frame up).

The theme for this year's calendar is "travel across the USA". Each month shows Hello Kitty visiting a specific place (e.g. Hawaii and Alaska). Just flip open the calendar and your heart would be instantly won over by the first picture which shows Hello Kitty in a red pinafore, all ready for school and looking so sweet!

There are slight differences between the 'layout' in the 2006 calendar and 2005's. In 2005's, small characters/cute drawings are printed on some of the dates. But in the 2006 calendar, the dates page is not 'adorned' with any characters/drawings. Also, more autumn colors (brown, yellow, green) are used for the backround in 2006, unlike previous year's where there is more red and pink (which is Hello Kitty's trademark color). A pity. For the above 2 reasons, I would say the 2005 calendar is more attractive.

Amazon.com allows you to view the pictures of most of the months. All are cute but I like 'April' the best (for its spring colors). If you're buying this calender outside the US, the COVER you see may be different from what is shown on Amazon.com. The cover will most likely be bright pink with the words "Hello Kitty 2006" and a large Hello Kitty face in the center. But the contents are the same as in the US version.

Hello Kitty = CUTE, and this is THE calender to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming book for all ages, October 19, 2006

This review is from: Hello Kitty Hello USA!: A Celebration of All Fifty States (Hardcover)

This is a very cute book, with highlights for each state. It's colorful and easy to read, and gives a good sense of the differences in each region and state. I bought several copies for small nieces (3-7 years old), but I liked it so well I wanted one for myself!
