We initially borrowed "Radical Rockets" from the library and my 4 year old son instantly became a die-hard fan of PMK. I decided to invest in the 6 DVD set for Christmas and it has been worth every penny! These are easily his favorite videos. While Charlie may seem silly to adults, his experiments get real science across to kids in a fun and easy way. My son thinks he's hysterical and talks about the PMK kids as if they're his buddies. His preschool teacher says he talks about his "mechanics videos" all the time as he explains (in his 4 year old way) things like how rockets work or how to survive in the desert to her. Highly recommended and definitely worthwhile - a fun, educational series for kids.

Having a boy and girl is often tough when they want to watch different movies. I thought this was a must have! I purchased the set right before we went on a 13 hour drive for vacation and it was a hit. I did not feel guilty letting them watch dvd's that I knew were informative and fun to watch. My children were entertained and educated at the same time. A double bonus! These are great for boys and girls. Would recommend them to teachers!

My kids ages 6 and 7 LOVE PMK, they've learned so many really cool things watching PMK. I bought one DVD just to see what it was like, then two more and two more, and two more. Now I just ordered the newest ones coming out. They are always telling me about this fact or that and I actually like watching them too.

If I leave my youngest daughter to make her own television veiwing choices, inevitably she will gravitate towards mindless cartoons. The most notable exception is PMK. Se loves these programs and even watches them repeatedly. I've watched most of them with her and find them pretty informative. I was looking for new episodes tonight because when I got home from work she reported to me that our cat has tapeworms, explained her diagnosis, and recited what she knew about tapeworms and their causes in pets from the program section "nix and tics" talking about parasites. She hadn't seen that program in months, but clearly it stuck. It is apparent she's learning from these programs.

Our kids love this DVD set. They watch their DVD players when they go to bed, but they can only watch educational DVDs. This is the perfect option. They both (4 and 7 years) love them.

Great movies! Mt 5 year old son loves them. I even catch my daughter and husband watching... He's having fun and learning.

We've seen them all by renting them from the library, but it is so worth it to have them at home without scratches so everything plays great.

These DVDs are so full of information, and very entertaining. Even my child who prefers Spongebob to anything remotely educational loves these DVDs (especially Slither and Slime). They really do a great job of explaining how things work, and having kid hosts and a good dose of comedy keeps kids' attention.

My daughters have enjoyed all 6 DVD's for years now. My oldest would borrow 2 dvd's each week from the library for well over a year straight! She never tired of watching them and now my youngest has fallen in love with them too. They've learned quite a bit from watching them.

We found this series at our local library. My 6 year old son requests them frequently and repeatedly. He will be so thrilled to have them all to choose from at home! Lots of great science information and very entertaining!
