DVD Reviews of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood - A Day at the Circus (with Toy)DVD Review: My daughter's favorite episode Summary: 5 StarsMy children (ages 4 and 1) and I are huge Mister Roger's fans. We have all the DVDs because our PBS station no longer airs the program. This one is my daughter's (age 4) particular favorite because as she puts it " she has never been to the circus" I love it becaue it came with a great hard to find CD of Mister Rogers' music and stories preformed by himself.
The fist episode: Circus Fun: Mister Rogers visits the circus and Chuckles the clown. He also sees baby chicks. In the land of make-believe, a caterpillar learns to like herself the way she is and then turns into a butterfly and Daniel Striped Tiger talks about his fear of clowns and costumes.
The second episode: Musical Adventures: Mister rogers visits a friend with a really cool collection of musical instruments. My daughter loves the gongs. In the land of make-believe, characters put on a base violin festival, with music, dancing, and puppets.
Also included is a tour of a pretzel factory. Very fun. My daughter wanted to eat pretzels for weeks.
DVD Review: We all need Mr. Roger's Neighborhood Summary: 5 StarsAs with all the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood programs, you and your child will go away feeling better about yourself after watching. A Day at the Circus also gives you a behind the scene glimpse of a world totally foreign to most of us which is a good lead-in to discussing how people are all different yet all the same. We need more shows like this to prepare our children for life. My granddaughter asks to watch it over and over again.
DVD Review: Mr. Rogers at the Circus Summary: 5 StarsLove Mr. Rogers!! The Speedy Delivery truck that came with this DVD is one of my son's favorite toys.
DVD Review: The Best Children's Show Ever Made. Educational and Positive Summary: 5 StarsThis DVD is very good because it includes an excellent episode on music. The other Mister Rogers DVD available at Amazon.com is also great because is focuses on friendship and love.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is probably the best show ever made for children, because he understands the educational and emotional needs of young children. It may not be obvious, but quite a bit of thought was put into the design, format and content of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Mister Rogers teaches young children to value themselves and respect others. He speaks to them directly on his show and encourages them to use their creativity. He brings them on field trips to interesting places, like a farm, bakery, barber shop, and balloon factory.
He is a good person - an educator - to invite into your home and share time with your child. If your young child does not watch Mister Rogers, she should. His goal is not catchy entertainment, but to help very young children with their early development. His message is simple.
"You're special.
"I like you just the way you are.
"There's only one person in the whole world just like you."
His television show is not as popular as it used to be (once hugely popular) and not as popular as other commercial, shallow television programs. It is not targeted at adults. Instead Mister Rogers is educational entertainment for young children ages two, three, four, and five; the little ones learning to count one-two-three-four-five, tie their shoes, and just beginning to understand themselves and their worlds. That's why Mister Rogers's Neighborhood is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics - your child's doctor.
Fred Rogers is a genius of early childhood education. He wrote over 150 songs, produced and wrote almost all of his shows, and staged most of his puppets himself. He collected four Emmy Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Television and Arts Sciences, numerous honorary degrees, and other awards. One of his red cardigan sweaters is enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute. Despite his success, he refused opportunities to get rich off his fame and remained a humble man committed to his cause of quality entertainment for young children.
He became widely recognized as a trusted authority on early childhood education, testifying before Congress and interviewed frequently. In an Associated Press Interview he said, "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say `It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."
Fred Rogers is one of the unsung heroes of our society, helping children to learn about themselves, learn about the world, like themselves, and respect other people. He was very special.
Mister Rogers is excellent entertainment for your child. This DVD is highly recommended.
DVD Review: SUCH A GREAT DVD Summary: 5 StarsI bought this DVD for my best friend's daughter along with the other Mister Rogers DVD ("Adventures In Friendship") and she LOVES them. She has made me watch it with her at least 10 times. I can only imagine how many times she has watched it when I haven't been there!? She loves to sing-along to the DVD even though she can't really understand the words yet. Aren't kids just too funny sometimes!? If you are looking for a DVD for a toddler. THIS IS IT. --- EDUCATIONAL --- ENTERTAINING --- PERFECT!!!
