My 3 year old boy loves this video! We watch at least one episode every day and he loves pretending his trucks are Mighty Monster Trucks. We do not have Discovery Kids, but saw an episode on You Tube. We bought volumes one and two and have not looked back. We can't wait for volume 3. This video has 6 episodes: "Twin Engines," "Fender Bender," "Here Comes the Crushmeister," "Pushing the Limits", "Fright Busters", and "King Krush".
In the first episode Meteor and L.T. babysit Senora Rosa's (LT's mom) friend's twins and find themselves a little over their heads! In Fender Bender, L.T. learns that the guilt one feels in telling a lie and blaming someone else for the damage he caused is not nearly as bad as accepting the consequences of his actions. In "...Crushmeister" Meteor also learns about consequences when he fails to deliver on a promise he made to his friends. "Pushing the limits" teaches kids what can happen when they don't listen to their parents/grandparents. Meteor thinks he is a big kid and almost gets crushed. Thankfully, grandpa is there to rescue him. Fright Busters is my son's least favorite because it deals with the Bigfoot family visiting "scary" places around town to conquer their fears. In the final episode the kids watch a scary movie and let their imaginations get the best of them in the schoolyard.
I like these videos and watch them with my son when I can. I think the messages are positive without being campy. I highly, highly recommend this video series.
