App Review: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood

Adding Stickers to Daniel Tiger's App

Eva and Andrew have been thoroughly enjoying the new show on PBS called Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Set in the land of make believe from the classic Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger is an animated interpretation of that magical place.

There was one car in the woods and then there were about fifteen other cars stopped on both sides of the highway of the northbound lane. Lucky for the southbound drivers that all of this was hidden behind trees or else there would be some major rubbernecking from that side too. Continue reading Kreon Life
