Our Netflix StreamTeam contacts sent us the fun “Anne with an E” care package. It came complete with some Kindred Spirits buttons for Eva to share with her best fried as well as tissues for those episodes that will make you cry and also a copy of Anne of Green Gables plus a notebook to write all of Eva’s imaginary stories.

Eva and Andrew and Allison watched the 90 minute first episode. Allison liked it very much. I think that she read the book as a child. I never read the book myself, but I’ve heard many good things about it. Eva was more interested in getting into reading the book then watching the show. She is much more interested in books these days, which is great. I think that after she reads the book she’s going to want to watch the series. I think that I should read the book as well.

I came downstairs today to find that Andrew had, completely on his own, discovered Julie’s Greenroom. This is a brand new show starring Julie Andrews. This new show debuted on March 17th and I’ve been meaning to watch it with Andrew and Eva. He beat me to it and he absolutely loved it. how do I know, he watched the first episode 3 times today. Once on his own, once with me and once with my mom. I thought it was cute and my mother loved it. I think she liked it even more than Andrew.

The very first episode starts off and introduces the cast which consists of human characters and puppet characters including a puppet duck and puppet dog. The main point of the show is to advocate for the arts and the positive impact that creativity can have on every child’s life. There are even special guests including Idina Menzel, Sara Bareilles and Alec Baldwin to name a few. Idina Menzel was in the first episode.

the show is really cute and full of great information about the arts. The show is brought to life by the Jim Henson Company and looks to be something that will capture the attention of kids (and parents) everywhere. If you’d like, I have some Conversation Starters About Julie’s Greenroom. Continue reading A Focus on Strong Female Characters in this Month’s #StreamTeam Post
