My Thoughts

PBS l has always been one of my favorite stations. Their educational series are fun and exciting for kids and parents alike.  My son has recently become obsessed with sharks, partially because his dad let him watch "Jaws" and partially because we live at the shore and he loves to surf. So he was definitely excited to have the chance to watch Sharks of Hawaii. This documentary brings you the real life drama of the underwater world. The DVD provides hours of nail biting entertainment.

This season one of the highlights is getting to meet forty different species of sharks in Hawaii. You get to see them in their natural habitat and also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii.  If you are interested in purchasing this exciting DVD for yourself, it is available in retailers nationwide.  You can also find it online on PBS.org on Amazon.
