March 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment
PBS Kids is a very popular channel with my four year old daughter. It's the one channel she is constantly watching. Yes, I know watching more than 2 hours of television is bad for a kid her age but if it's PBS, who cares, right? She's learning, having fun and singing along. A lot of the times I find myself watching it along with her, especially the Super Why episodes. Never heard of Super Why? Well, it's an animated series designed to help kids ages 3 to 6 gain the critical skills that they … [Read more...]

The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premiere – Review
February 18, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Madagascar has always been a huge hit at our house. It was actually my 4 year old's first film to see at the movies. Even though she was only about 6 months old, she enjoyed it. She didn't whine or cry so I knew she had a good time. When Madagascar 2 came out, we all went to see it as well. It's an animated movie that is fun for all ages. There's even some jokes that young kids won't get, which is fine by me. ;) So when we heard that the penguins will have their own show on … [Read more...]
