This review is from: Busytown Mysteries: The Biggest Mysteries Ever! (DVD)

We picked this dvd up to entertain our 3 year old on a long car ride to grandma's. This series is from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). It kept him happily transfixed for many hours. The dvd runs just over 4 hours and is divided into 10 30 minute episodes. Each episode will contain a couple of mysteries. THe characters use problem solving and logic to solve little mysteries around the town (one is example is a smoke alarm that keeps going off) . Very sweet little dvd - highly recommend for for anyone looking for a dvd for a child 3-5.
