We received four DVDs from PBS Kids. They were great to have with us on our trip to the Cape. Andrew had a great time watching the Daniel Tiger DVDs and Eva liked the WordGirl and Arthur DVDs. There was also a Caillou DVD which we did not watch but gave to my nephew because he enjoys the show. These DVDs are part of the Walmart “Back to School Preschool Promotion”.
