Our Thoughts...

B was thrilled to receive this DVD! I don't know many little boys who don't love monster trucks, and my boy is no exception. We don't often get to see this show on television, so to be able to pop the DVD in after school, is a wonderful treat for us. We're able to take the DVD along with us on trips, which comes in handy on long car trips to the beach, etc. We love Blaze because he's cool and fun, but he's also a gentle, helpful friend. Every day, he's learning new life lessons, with the help from some of our favorite characters.

High Speed Adventures is filled with exciting episodes, where the characters must work as a team to solve puzzles, complete daring rescues, and more! As with other popular Nick Jr. shows, teamwork and friendship is a recurring theme, which makes me so happy to see. There are way too any shows out on television these days which are filled with fighting and violence- not something I want my son to see. Nick Jr. offers so many lovable programs and characters for kids, this being one of our favorites!
