Things are about to get very odd…! PBS Distribution today announced the release of “ODD SQUAD: CREATURE ENCOUNTERS” on DVD, the latest title from the multiple Emmy-winning live-action PBS KIDS series ODD SQUAD from The Fred Rogers Company. The new DVD, available just in time for Halloween, features five “odd” stories from the popular series, including a special extended adventure called “6:00 to 6:05.”
When it comes to dealing with bizarre situations and unusual creatures, the agents of the Odd Squad are always ready for the challenge. Fans can join agents Olive and Otto as they interrogate a mummy, a unicorn, and a robot that escaped from library books; work to find a powerful weapon capable of defeating the Hydraclops; and travel back in time to prevent dinosaurs from destroying headquarters. Using their wit, courage, and math and problem-solving skills, Olive and Otto work to save the day and set things right!

My Thoughts
The Odd Squad is a cute series about a team of junior detectives who love to solve off the wall cases. Along the way, they sing songs, dance, and help kids develop their math skills. This DVD set is all about meeting interesting creatures like dinosaurs and unicorns. The disc features five fantastic episodes including:
6:00 to 6:05
How to Interrogate a Unicorn
The Trouble with Centigurps
Rise of the Hydraclops
Robert Plant
This is a really fun show and always teaches some interesting facts.. Overall, my children really enjoyed the show. It can be a little corny at times, but it's definitely a fun and educational program.
