Zula Patrol: Weather can be FUN!

When the lovely ladies over at The Parent Bloggers asked me if we'd be interested in reviewing The Zula Patrol: Explore Weather!  I jumped at the chance.  My kids are constantly asking me about weather - CONSTANTLY.  Selfishly, I hoped that the dvd would answer some of their incessant questions, and keep the illusion that I was really more intelligent about weather than I appear.  You know, all of the "I dunno" answers get old after a while.

Aimed at children from preschool to second grade, Explore Weather was a huge hit with my four youngest children, who all eagerly sat through repeated viewings.  Unanimously, their favorite section was the one that explains seasons.  My second grader's favorite fact - the one that was repeated to me again and again?  The tilt of the planet determines the seasons. This show even refreshed my knowledge of weather.

One thing I really enjoy about The Zula Patrol is that it is shown on PBS, which happens to be one of my favorite channels because everything shown on it represents good clean values.  There isn't any name calling, no fighting and all of the shows finish with a strong lesson.  This dvd was no different.

This dvd became a van dvd - which is high praise indeed in our house - only the truly fun dvds make their way out to the van, to be watched again and again as we make our way from school to soccer, from scouts to the grocery store. 

I highly recommend this dvd.  Pick up a copy for your young ones, and get ready to be blown away by the bright colors, crisp lines, fun filled facts and engaging dialogue of The Zula Patrol: Explore Weather!  You can pick up your copy at Borders.
