I am very pleased to share about Scholastics Storybook Treasures latest offering “Mo Willem’s Pigeon and Pals: Complete Cartoon Collection!”.  This set includes two DVD volumes featuring the unforgettable fun loving works of children’s author Mo Willems.

Each collection included in this set are a little over an hour. The artwork and animation is eye catching and sure to keep the interest of children. There are tales of a bunny that is mistaken by another that looks just like it, a naked mole rat that wants to wear clothes, the pigeon that finds a hotdog, and many more tales sure to be loved by both boys and girls.

Mo Willem’s stories are cleverly written and supports teaching children about cooperation, problem solving. As a parent of two young children under the age of 4, I’m quite the fan of the read a long feature that plays along the screen as the story is being told. It’s wonderful to see my preschooler recognizing letters and putting it all together boosting her early reader skills!

Overall, we quite enjoy the works of Mo Willem’s and are very pleased in seeing some of our favorite stories come to life in such a way! We highly recommend this collection!

The Mo Willems collection can be purchased on the New Kideo site for 14.95.  This would be great to add to your children’s collection of dvd’s, local library, and classroom!

Pocoyo is a children’s show about a sweet little boy and his fun animal friends, Elly the elephant, Pato, Loula and Sleepy Bird. The show has short but cute and memorable skits that I guarantee that not only kids but adults too will fall in love with.

My children ages 3 and 1 years old where introduced to Pocoyo in his fun little world on the DVD ” Pocoyo- Fun and Dance a few weeks ago. It’s been a definite hit in our home. This DVD with a running time of about 50 minutes has a total of 7 stories: The Big Sneeze, Drum Roll Please, Umbrella Umbrella, A Mystery Most Puzzling, Double Bubble, Sleepy Bird’s Surprise, and Swept Away.

Each story is around 7-8 minutes long and teaches children important character building lesson such as the importance of sharing, friendship, and much more. I like that the stories are short, simple and straight to the point. The voice over narrative by Stephen Fry is great. As Pocoyo and his friends are interacting, the narrative voice over asks questions and explains how the characters feel, what they may want, and what they are doing. This is key and keeps children engaged as to what exactly may be happening.

I would highly recommend exploring the world of Pocoyo with your child. This show is short, sweet, and makes learning fun. It’s laid back feel is a desirable factor for parents that want something that’s not annoying or overly loud as we know that some shows geared toward children can often be.
