Heya, I've blogged many times before about the way children's TV has the inherent ability to drive parents absolutely insane.
Especially the Wiggles, bless their colored skivvies. I dream in Wiggle some nights.
But... the things we do for our kids. When I got a press release not long back stating that the first ever Little Charlie Bear DVD was being released in Australia on September 14th, I well and truly took the bait.
The Chop, at three and a half, adores this show. He sings the theme song. He sits, transfixed, watching Charley Bear ("No mum!! It's Little Charley Bear!!" OK, kid....) tap dance and talk to the moon. And I can totally live this. There's no annoying techno dance music, no hardcore issues. This is pleasant kids TV, pure and simple. And the narrator, James Cordon, just has a voice to die for- calming but expressive.
It's not quite as addictive or cute as Small Potatoes- featured here at Glow's place- but Charley Bear is a winner. I asked the Chop how many jellybeans he would give it on the RRSAHM-Ranking-Stuff Scale and he said...
"Mummy, I want to eat the jellybeans."
Which is a fair call. So I'm giving Little Charley Bear at 4 out of 5 jellybeans on the RRSAHM-Ranking-Stuff-Scale.
And because I like to give stuff away.... I've got three packs featuring the new Charley Bear DVD and a gorgeous plush Charley Bear Fun Sounds toy. To win...
