Peanuts does it again

Once again Charles Schultz's lovable charachters manage to bring entertainment in a successful combination with education to children. As the Christmas special and Thanksgiving special take moments to recognize the history of these holidays, this series of videos brings America's history to young viewers. In the Great inventors, Alexander Graham Bell's discovery of the telephone is pure entertainment. I found myself learning along with my kids. I think this series is an outstanding attempt to introduce American history to even the youngest viewer. While there are some moments that the stories are probably lost on the young viewer, kids are introduced to the langauge of our history that may help them remember these events when learning about them in school. I recommend this series to any parent who is looking for a way to introduce these concepts and events to his or her children.

It was good.

My 4 year old and my 6 year old enjoy this tape very much. They have learned much about the Transcontinental Railroad. This video is packed with a lot of facts, but done in a way that the children enjoy watching. I am well pleased that it is a part of our collection.

Great cartoon! (And educational, too.)

This Is America, Charlie Brown cartoons were very innovative specials that featured the Peanuts characters in important moments in history, and gave kids (as well as parents) a fun insight on how certain histicorial characters (and their influences) came to be. This episode is about the how the Constitution was created, as well as how the legislative, executive and judicial branches affected the delegates. The special mainly revolved around Linus and Peppermint Patty, but the other usual characters were there as well (Schroeder was only in one scene, but he didn't have any line).

I knocked off a star because the idea of Charlie Brown inventing all those sports, like basketball and baseball ("I bet that hitting a ball with a stick would make a great game!"), was a little too surreal. But it's all right because the special is still great. These This Is America specials rarely come on television any more, so if you want to see them, click the ADD TO CART button.
