Product Description

Includes 4 great adventures: Binky Goes Nuts, Breezy Listening Blues, Arthur Weighs In, and The Law of the Jungle Gym.

Binky Goes Nuts: When Binky discovers that he's allergic to peanuts, he has so many questions: Will he be forced to live without Chinese food? Will he ever again be able to eat with his friends? And most importantly, will his Mom ever calm down? Binky learns that the best way not to go nuts is to be well informed and to understand his allergy.

Breezy Listening Blues: Much to his horror, Brain gets a "B-" on a test. That's only one grade above a C! What caused this disaster? Could it be the new "Breezy Listening" background music playing at the Ice Cream Shop? Brain is determined to get to the bottom of this before he loses what's left of his IQ.

Arthur Weighs In: When Arthur doesn't fit into his costume for the play, he's shocked to learn that he's gotten "husky-sized." Now he's serious about getting in shape. Will he turn to an all-protein diet? Eat only herbs and berries? Or will he try something really radical...exercise?!

The Law of the Jungle Gym: Muffy found the perfect place to take pictures with her new digital camera: the jungle gym. Unfortunately, it's Tough Customer territory, and Molly wants to bully Muffy right out of her new studio. But Crosswires do not compromise! Or... do they? Based on the best-selling children's books by Marc Brown, Arthur chronicles the adventures of the world's most famous aardvark, eight-year-old Arthur Read, and his family and friends. In episodes that never moralize or talk down to kids, Arthur and his friends encounter the joys and difficulties that all kids experience. From telling the truth to wetting the bed, Arthur manages to handle each situation with imagination, kindness, and humor. The series also models the joys and rewards of literacy by presenting the many ways kids--and adults--incorporate reading and writing into their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Video helps children relate to food allergic peers , July 27, 2008

By	Food Allergy Mom (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

Our four year old daughter has multiple food allergies, some of which are life-threatening. Being a preschooler, she absolutely ADORES Arthur and his friends. Binky is one of her favorites as she, too, is allergic to nuts. I strongly recommend this video to teachers, parents, etc. who desire to better educate non-food allergic children to the challenges their friends face daily. It is also a wonderful source of comfort to children who are food allergic as they see through being entertained that there are other kids (and cartoon/book characters) who are like them. Thank you, Marc Brown, for bringing attention and understanding to food allergic children all across our country through Arthur and his pal, Binky!

5.0 out of 5 stars Arthur/ Binky, January 12, 2009

By	KB (Kansas) - See all my reviews

Personally i think arthur is the best, secretly educational show out there - especially for children 3-7. It teaches understanding and acceptance of our differences, instead of encouraging making fun of what we don't understand. Nobody is perfect and that is nothing to be embarrased about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arthur: Binky Goes Nuts, September 16, 2008

By	BKG - See all my reviews

This episode is a GREAT tool for teaching awareness of food allergies. I have three children ages 8 years, 6 years and 3 years. My two older children have severe peanut and tree nut allergies. They love to watch this show. My children and I could identify with the story. It details a lot of the issues that go along with food allergies. For example, Binky does not want to sit at a "special" table for lunch because he will feel different and embarrassed. Also, when Binky is first diagnosed and is told about Ana phylaxis, he wants to know if she (Ana) is in his class. It goes on to explain exactly what Anaphylaxis is. It shows what it is like to be a worried parent of a child with food allergies. It is very educational and yet still entertaining. I highly recommend this story!!
