Peg+Cat-Peg and Cat Save the World...Review & Giveaway!

Maine has been rainy for the past two months.  Really, really rainy.  This has meant plenty of movie days for the kids (and me!).  I have been oh so thankful for great new releases from some of my favorite shows including Peg+Cat.  On May 23rd, PBS Kids released Peg+Cat:  Peg and Cat Save the World and this DVD was a real day saver one day last week when rain cancelled a whole day of plans.  We broke up the day with board games, snacks and this adorable DVD.  Here is the scoop...

In this fun-filled, two-part movie, the president of the United States (voiced by actress Sandra Oh) summons Peg and Cat to the White House to solve a problem of national importance! The president needs Peg and Cat to identify a mysterious object floating in space. Using their problem-solving skills, the duo discovers that a giant opera-singing pig is on a collision course with Earth. Can Peg and Cat save the planet from disaster? 

Each PEG + CAT adventure features a story in which Peg and Cat encounter an unexpected challenge that requires them to use their math and problem-solving skills to find a solution. While it teaches specific math lessons, the series also emphasizes the importance of resilience and perseverance.

Our Thoughts:  As with all PBS Kids shows, Peg+Cat is an program that is both engaging and educational.  It is the kind of program that feels acceptable to pop in on a rainy day when your children (and you!) are antsy and more than a little cranky.  This  movie packed in adventure, problem solving and history in a great movie.  This one is a must for the little ones in your life.  As an aside, I also loved that the President was portrayed as a woman!!  Girl Power!  You can pick up this DVD today on Amazon....
