Pahappahooey IslandPuppets are insanely popular with kids. Take Sesame Street for example. Those loveable puppets have been around for how long, and they are still popular! Pahappahooey Island from Anchor Bay incorporates puppets, and more importantly a great message for kids to learn. “What About Me” is scheduled to hit stores August 25th, and we were given a special sneak peek at our house.  Miss Ruby in this series is played by Joyce Meyers, best selling author and Christian speaker.

A little more about “What About Me”

What About Me!? follows a group of furry friends as they navigate a mysterious, faraway land in search of treasure. Along the way, they encounter secret worlds and new friends to be rescued. With the help of Meyer’s Miss Ruby, the lovable characters learn valuable lessons about working together…all while singing their way into the hearts and minds of children.

Pros:   I love that Pahaapahooey Island is not only entertaining for children, but incorporates a good message.  I remember growing up that most cartoons had no message, and didn’t really teach me anything.  In this generation, it seems that those that produce children’s shows are keenly aware of teaching children values.  That is something I definitely want taught in my home.

I’m not sure how many times we’ve played this dvd.  Chandler, my 3 year old wants to watch it over and over.  I thought it was important the messages it taught, especially teamwork, so we have been learning about teamwork in our home.  Whether it’s picking up toys together, or solving a problem, he’s learning important skills at age three that will help him in the real world.

picture-3 I think it’s really important for parent’s to be involved in actively teaching their kids values, and this dvd is a great help.  I actually don’t mind sitting down and watching this show with him.  The script is well written and the puppets are cute and entertaining.  Plus, it’s suitable for all ages and the episodes are only about 20-25 minutes, meaning it keeps a child’s attention the entire time.  

This dvd also includes  a bonus episode, “Hide It In Your Heart.”  The entire dvd runs 67 minutes.

Cons:  I wouldn’t mind owning more of the Pahappahooey Island episodes.  I went looking for them, and only found other episodes on VHS.  We don’t have a VCR, so it isn’t even an option for us to buy others at this time.  I’d love to see other episodes go on dvd.  

The Bottom Line:  Great dvd for children of all ages that teaches important values.
