My Thoughts 


Peg & Cat is an adorable show about a little girl and her animal companion. There is lots of action and lots of math lessons to be learned along the way as they battle a series of villains. In this DVD, Peg and Cat visit the meet a few furry friends who need their help.  This DVD set includes four fantastic episodes. 

The Big Dog Problem
The Three Friends Problem
The Too Big Dog Problem
Peg Meets Cat

In this movie, Peg and Cat visit the White House where they  help the president solve a big problem. This was our first experience with this show, but we're certainly be looking for new episodes now because we're hooked. It's a wonderful, educational series that is perfect for preschoolers. There was humor, adventure, and even a little history.  Both my younger children enjoyed it immensely.
