Word Girl Earth Day girl
Like Martha Speaks and many of the other PBS shows Word Girl introduces 16 volcabulary words to reinforce word meanings in a fun and entertaining way. Word Girl (like Superboy) comes from another planet and gain her super skills such as flying, super strength and most importantly super brain power from being on earth. Just as Superboy had Krypto as a partner, Word girl has the monkey Captain Huggy Face. The 8 episodes on this DVD include one episode of each of the bad guys that appear in the opening credits and some that don't. One big different between Superboy and Word girl is that Word girl's ditzy family has no knowledge that their daughter and the identical Word Girl are the same person. Even her brother the president of the Word Girl fan club.
First we start off with the Earth Day episode with Birthday girl a misguided kid who thinks every day is her birthday and grows in size and strength when she gets upset. It an okay episode though other people might find this...
Worrrrrd up!
My daughter and I both love WordGirl so I was very happy to have a DVD that I can pop in whenever we need it instead of having to worry about if I have an episode of DVR and which TV it's recorded on. The lessons that WordGirl teaches are always great and I really appreciate the little bits of humor that are thrown in for the parents as well. It's nice to have a show that I can watch with my daughter and feel equally entertained.
A gift for my grandaughter
if your child watches the PBS series, then this requires no comment, other than to warn you that episodes are edited in such a way that Captain Huggyface's little dance near the end of each episode, is taken out. My granddaughter, who loves to dance with the little monkey, was disappointed.
