A Longer Backyardigans Book (That My Son Loves!),
This review is from: Race to the Tower of Power (Backyardigans (8x8)) (Paperback)
Previous Backyardigans books have been shorter, such as Ready-to-Read Level 1. However, this is one is longer than usual which is great for kids with longer attention spans.
Race to the Tower of Power is a 22-page softcover featuring Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua and Austin. Pablo is the supervillian Yucky Man, who slimes everything in sight, while Tyrone is Dr. Shrinky, who shrinks objects and foes. These "supervillians" want to capture the Key to the World that is hidden in the Tower of Power. But not so fast! Two superheroes are there to stop them! Austin is Captain Hammer, who can build anything with the tap of his hammer. Uniqua is Weather Woman who has the power to change the weather. Both will need their superpowers to stop those determined villians! Race to the Tower of Power has the Backyardigans battling it out to see who can get to the Tower of Power first. In the end, the supervillians have a change of heart and take on new names--as superheroes! (Although Pablo seems reformed against his will. *chuckle*) This is an engaging story that my 7 year old LOVES. Since buying it for him, he's asked for it as a bed time story every single night! My only misgiving is that they use the word "hate" several times in the book. That word is a 'no-no- in our house, and I was disappointed that writers felt a need to include it. (It's unnecessary to the story.) All in all, a very colorful, exciting story for youngsters!

WAHAHA!
We sure love reading this book at bedtime. My daughter LOVES the backyardigans, and they really made fun books straight from some of the TV episodes.

I agree with others that I do not like that the writers used the word "hate." But I use it as a teaching opportunity for her--just because others use it or say it, does not make it ok. I think as parents, if you do not use it at home, our children tend not to use those words as well--especially at younger ages. We have to take these opportunities and turn them into positives for our children. It would be a shame if I did not read this story to her. She "LOVES" it and wants it read every night before bedtime. It is a cute storyline and it has taught her to clean up after "Yucky" things happen or spill. Every time she sees a dirty car, mud or etc... she says "Yucky Man clean it up." It is very cute that when she spills her water, she now cleans it up all by herself--at least she does her best to try.
