This review is from: Curious George Goes Green (DVD)

This DVD is one of the best bargains around - it runs for an hour and 48 minutes with 8 full earth-friendly episodes to entertain your children while they learn how to take care of the planet:

The Perfect Carrot - George learns how to grow carrots but when a friend's bunnies go missing, he has to make a decision: the bunnies or the carrot?

Everything Old Is New Again - the city is awarding a prize to the building that collects the most recycling. George goes out of his way to win collecting recyclables, but doesn't realize they have to be used first!

Curious George and the Trash - George throw's out the Man's with the Yellow Hat's yellow hat by mistake. He learns about the city's garbage system while trying to recover it.

Much Ado About Nothing - George learns how to make compost - or so he thinks. Pretty soon every container around is filled with "compost".

George Digs Worms - George's prize worm accidentally ends up in the wrong box - he's off to find it before it's used as fish bait.

Seed Trouble - George learns how to plant a vegetable garden but mixes the seeds by mistake. Can he figure out which seeds grow which plants?

Ice Station Monkey - George is off to the Antarctic on a research mission with lots of penguins.

Shipwrecked With Hundley - The Man with the Yellow Hat, George, the doorman and Hundley go sailing but end up shipwrecked on an island. The Man and the doorman go off to explore and George and Hundley get lost. Will they be stuck on the island?

The episodes are suitable for children ages 2+ and contain valuable real-life lessons after each episode, as children learn how to make compost and how to cook with local produce, among others.

This review is from: Curious George Goes Green (DVD)

I wanted to create my own review after reading the lone 1-star review. This is not a Curious George recreation of "An Inconvenient Truth." There is no appearence from PETA. George doesn't attack whaling ships. Its just a bunch of great shows that incorporate themes related to the outdoors and gardening. All of the episodes are wonderfully done and great for all ages. Thanks PBS for making such an educational cartoon that is enjoyable to watch over and over!
