With school starting soon, it is probably a good idea to begin to prepare the younger kids entering pre-school or kindergarten for the first time. Here are a few DVDs that can help you do just that!

Let kids prepare for the first day of school with Dora the Explorer and the rest of her Nickelodeon pals in the new DVD--"The First Day of School". In this adventure-filled DVD, Dora leads the way, but it also includes episodes from Go, Diego, Go!; Blue’s Clues; The Wonder Pets!; and Ni Hao, Kai-lan!

Nickelodeon: First Day of School Synopsis:
Dora the Explorer – First Day of School
Boots and Tico are really excited because it’s their first day of school and they’re going to learn in English and Spanish! Dora leads the way, teaching Boots Spanish and Tico English as they head out to school. At the river, their Guatemalan friend Camila shows them how to find turtles to ride across, then they go through the Forest where Swiper swipes Tico and Boots’ lunches and they have to find them.

Go, Diego, Go! –“ Linda the Librarian”
Alicia is opening a new library on the mountain top. Linda the Llama was supposed to bring the books for the library -- but she's late and it's almost time to open the library. Diego finds Linda the Llama and they set off for the library. But first they’ve got to go up and down the rocky mountains by saying "arriba/abajo," then a big wind blows away the library books and it's up to the viewer to find them.

Blue's Clues – “Blue Takes You To School”
It's Periwinkle's first day at preschool, and everyone needs to help Periwinkle make it through his first day. From finding his cubby and getting through circle time, to reading the job chart and understanding how to take turns and respect others, Periwinkle has a lot to learn.

The Wonder Pets! – “Off to School / Save the Pangaroo”
Off to School -- The Wonder Pets help our old friend the Baby Blowfish overcome her separation anxiety on her first day of Fish Preschool.
Save the Pangaroo -- The Wonder Pets help a kid-art Pangaroo, a fictional animal that is part kangaroo and part parrot, who has been thrown away in the trash.

Ni Hao, Kai-lan –“Lulu Day”
Today, Kai-lan is having a playdate with her best girl friend, Lulu the rhino. Kai-lan has all sorts of games to play with Lulu, but Lulu wants to play with different things than Kai-lan. Kai-lan and Lulu need the viewers’ help to figure out a way to compromise and play things that make them both happy.
Buy it at Amazon.com for $12.99.

"Music, Music Everywhere" from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment is a great addition to your child's DVD library. It is interactive and will have kids singing, laughing and dancing along with Barney, Bob the Builder, Thomas & Friends, Kipper and Angelina Ballerina. This DVD is also a great buy since it also includes a Bonus Music CD!

Barney, Bob the Builder and Thomas strike up the band and discover that piano-playing is even better with friends.

Another sweet DVD by Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment is Barney: Furry Friends. This is a collection of "tails" about how special our furry friends can be! Barney: Furry Friends is a great way to teach kids about different animals and teach them compassion and caring for them as well. Lucas is an animal lover so naturally this has become one of his favorite DVDs!

Photobucket

From helpful guide dogs to feline family members, you’re sure to have warm-hearted fun in this very special doggie treat.

SpongeBob fans, like my niece will be thrilled to own Triton's Revenge!

Tentacle-vision
I Heart Dancing
Buy it at Amazon.com for $10.49.

Lucas is also a huge Thomas the Train fan--I don't know of a little boy that isn't! As a parent, I also love Thomas because the episodes always reinforce good values and important life lessons such as timeless life lessons such as discovery, friendship and cooperation. If you have a Thomas fan in the house, you will want to own Thomas & Friends: Creaky Cranky. This DVD has FOUR ALL NEW EPISODES. These all-new, never-before-seen on TV episodes in full CG animation feature Thomas challenging Cranky the Crane to see who can lift the heaviest loads. Children will enjoy host Driver Perkins, who can ONLY be seen on DVD, and engages children with interactive dialogue and extra fun!

Photobucket
DVD SYNOPSIS: Thomas and his friends deliver cargo-loads of fun in this collection of uplifting episodes! Ride along as Thomas helps to deliver mail, mend engines, and prepare for the Spring Party on the Island of Sodor. Watch as Thomas learns that it pays to listen to advice, there’s more to a train than its undercoat, and that sometimes it takes a team of friends to reach your true destination.

Episodes include:
“Creaky Cranky”
“Tickled Pink”
“Steamy Sodor”
“Early Bird”

Bonus Feature: The “Sound Song” Karaoke Music Video
Buy it at Amazon.com for $10.49.

One of my personal favorite preschool shows is The Backyardigans. The music is always catchy and never annoying. Plus, the characters are adorable and expose kids to different cultures. This is truly a great show so I was happy to hear about their new DVD, The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop. This DVD features four new to DVD episodes and introduces kids to a variety of music genres like Alternative Rock, Forró, Bo Diddley-Style Rock and American Country Rock.

Photobucket
About the Show: In every episode of The Backyardigans, five high-spirited neighbors meet in their adjoining backyards and use their imaginations to transform themselves into different locations for epic adventures. Each half-hour episode of this Emmy Award-winning show features a unique music/dance genre with four original songs, along with real choreographed movements recreated in animation. The Backyardigans airs everyday on Nick Jr.

The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop Episode Synopses:
Elephant on the Run: Park Ranger Tasha has a very important job for delivery agents Tyrone and Pablo -- to get an endangered Indian elephant safely to the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary and to avoid the bad guys.

The Magic Skateboard: Tyrone really wants to be a great skateboarder. He may not know all the tricks yet, but he’s going to compete in the Show-Off Showdown. Once he finds the magic skateboard, even his top competition takes notice.

The Flipper!: Uniqua, Tasha and Pablo are the Meteor Watch Squad. But when meteor obsessed Pablo accidentally spills toxic space stuff all over himself, he becomes the super strong, super excitable Flipper!

Super Team Awesome!: Tyrone is a tour guide for the world’s only lava geyser, Old Gushie. When a loose boulder in the cavern threatens to cause a geothermal disaster, Tyrone calls for help. Not one, but three superheroes come to save the day!
Buy it at Amazon.com for $12.49.

Sesame Street fans young and old will love the 20th anniversary celebratory DVD, Sesame Street: 20 Years and Still Counting! Hosted by legendary comic Bill Cosby and featuring special appearances by Jim Henson, Kermit the Frog, Ray Charles and famed tenor Placido Domingo, the special includes classic Sesame Street scenes and interviews with those who were involved with the series’ early years and created a foundation for a show as relevant today as when it first debuted in 1969.


Photobucket

Buy it at Amazon.com for $10.99.

Tweens and young teens will get a kick out of Diary of a Wimpy Kid--a story about a boy who is entering middle school for the first time and his hilarious account of the trials and tribulations he faces. This is truly a movie the entire family can and will enjoy. Not only that, but everyone can empathize with Greg Heffley's middle school fears! Diary of a Wimpy Kid is actually based on the best-selling illustrated novel by Jeff Kinney. Selling over 30 million copies in print, Diary of a Wimpy Kid spent almost three years on The New York Times' children's best-seller list and has been translated into 33 languages!

Photobucket
DVD SYNOPSIS: The film chronicles the adventures of wisecracking pre-teen Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone's life... middle school. Convinced it's the "dumbest idea ever invented," Heffley considers junior high school a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment of the cafeteria floor and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties that he must overcome to become popular. His diary - or "journal" -chronicles his thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would be) schoolyard triumphs.
The Blu-ray/DVD CombPack and DVD will be available for purchase on August 3rd and both the Blu-ray and DVD include "Greg's Deleted Diary Pages", which bring the diary to life with all-new, never-before-seen hysterical moments not included in the feature film such as a rundown of the benefits of the Cheese Touch, more gross, silly Fregley fun, and Rowley's lost Zoo-Wee Mama cartoons.

Buy the DVD at Amazon.com for $17.99 or the Blu-ray for $30.99. Release date August 3rd, 2010.
