"The Backyardigans" is a fairly new series now airing in the United States and Canada about a group of five friends who get together and have adventures in their backyards. There's a lot of singing (all really quite good) and the animation is great. The characters each have different and interesting personalities and the stories are strong. This is a Nelvana production and includes many staff that have worked on shows such as "Franklin." You'll also find if you check the credits that many former members of the "Blue's Clues" crew write for this show as well. So if you like either of those shows, or even if you don't, there's a good chance you or your kids will like this!
This DVD has four complete episodes of the show "It's Great To Be a Ghost!," "Monster Detectives," "The Key to the Nile," and "Pirate Treasure." These episodes have things to teach about bravery, politeness, facing your fears, speaking up and other important themes. So not only will you / your kids learn a lot, but you'll be entertained too.
