Hip Hop Harry: Move Those Feet - I am admitting to you now…I’m a reality show-addict. As such, I watch all of the dancing shows. I admit it…even the latest addition on Bravo. One late Thursday night, while trying to get my oldest to finally settle down and go to sleep, he became enamored with it and began dancing all over my bedroom. It was at this moment that I had an epiphany….I had to find a more appropriate show that highlighted dancing for him. Enter Hip Hop Harry! Harry is a rapping bear that inspires kids to dance and ‘move their feet.’ My oldest guy loved watching the kids dance and tried to emulate some of their hip hop moves. If you have a child who can’t stop dancing, check out Hip Hop Harry: Move Your Feet on Discovery Kids, TLC, or on DVD here.

FarmKIDS: Chaos in the Country - A DVD with 7 short tales about a group of pampered farm animals moving from a petting zoo in the city to the country location of a dude ranch. It’s a fun television show from Australia now out on DVD. In the same vein as “Madagascar” but with farm animals unfamiliar with farm living, children from 6-11 will enjoy the irony and computer animation. My son and I love Doogie the dog and basketball-playing Dumpster the Bull.

You can find both DVDs at http://www.amazon.com.
