Raggs TV Show for Kids Goes Beyond Encouraging the Basic Creativity

I have been sent a goldmine, literally. If the TV show Raggs ever gets into the public eye, I don’t see why it won’t take off immediately. I was sent a DVD with three episodes to review and a music CD, both of which were instant hits in our home.I love this show because it encourages a lot of creativity, and dare I say it, imagination. And I’m not just talking about those irritating pauses where you are supposed to answer Dora. In this show you are pretending to be a mechanic, pretending to milk a cow and all sorts of other fun things. There are snippits of real kids, some animation, some giant Barneyesqe dogs and lots of action all jammed together. From crazy inventions to an ornery cat, I thought this show was cute from beginning to end.

My daughter, Sophie, is too young to tell me why she likes it, but I suspect it’s the fun, upbeat music from the band that Raggs leads. (I must tell you that mfavorite is Pido, the drummer.) She already is learning the words to the songs and she dances like a mad woman when they sing.

I don’t know how else to express this more clearly, but go check out Raggs and his crew to see what all the fuss is about. I promise you will be glad you did.
