Is Andy Scared Of Dinosaurs?

I watched Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure with my grandson the other afternoon he was not amused and went off to play with his toys.

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a children's programme shown on CBeebies. It features Andy Day as “Andy,” and Kate Copeland as “Hatty.” Patrick Makin is the writer. It's produced in a CGI digital format.                                                       

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a modern day telling of Dinosaurs in their own territory during Prehistoric times.

The stories start off with Andy accidentally breaking or losing a piece from Hatty’s dinosaur display when she leaves him in charge.

With the aid of a time travelling grandfather clock he goes back in time to find a replacement within that Dinosaur’s time frame; he also finds out how they lived without being eaten.

However, Andy only has a short time to find a replacement and display it back at the museum before the visitors arrive. Will he do it in time?

Andy is against the clock you never know if he will reach the museum in time, thrilling and exciting to watch.

My favourite character is Andy he’s like a big kid; he’s funny and great to watch, a great entertainer.

It’s worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s a brilliant programme for children, every episode shows a different prehistoric creature in its own territory; it’s informative, educational and very interesting to watch even for adults.

My final thought: Andy is so clumsy I wonder how he ever got a job at a museum?

Why Are The Cloudbabies So Adorable?

I watched Cloudbabies on CBeebies with my grandson; he smiles when he watches the programme and touches the television screen to touch the characters.

Cloudbabies is an animated children’s programme that is shown on CBeebies.
It was created by Bridget Appleby.
                                                  
The stories are wonderfully told the character voices adorable.

The theme tune is beautiful and lovely to sing along to, it’s like a lullaby; the animation crisp and perfect.

The stories are about the Cloudbabies Baba Pink, Baba Blue, Baba Yellow and Baba Green who live on a cloud with Bobo White.

They ride skyhorsies to see their friends the Sun, Moon, Rainbow, Fuffa Cloud and Little Star; they work really hard keeping everything clean and bright in the sky.

I love all the characters they are so cute, innocent and adorable and I want to give them big hugs.

The mischievous Bobo White made me laugh in the episode, "The Right Colour To Be," when he paints the sun a new colour. 

This is a wonderful children’s programme, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it is the most beautiful children’s programme for young children that I have watched on CBeebies.

My final thought: it's perfect for very young children.

Is Raa Raa Too Noisy?

I watched Raa Raa the Noisy Lion the other day with my grandson, he loves it and always dances along to the catchy theme tune.

Raa Raa the Noisy Lion is an animated children’s television programme that is shown on CBeebies. It was created by Chapman Entertainment and narrated by Lorraine Kelly.
                                                   
The stories are about Raa Raa the noisy Lion, who lives in the Jingly Jangly Jungle and personally their not wrong about him being noisy.

He is the noisiest Lion I have every known with his shouting and roaring, across the screen, my grandson loves it, the noisier the better for him. No chance of my grandson having a nap when Raa Raa’s on.

Raa Raa’s friends are not as noisy but when Raa Raa plays with them the decibels go up!
The animation is great the story lines and songs are brilliant.

I have no favourite they are equally good and entertaining.

Raa Raa makes me laugh when things don’t always go as he plans.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s a great children’s television series, the story lines, songs and dances are fun to watch.

My final thought: he's too noisy for me I'm off to buy some ear plugs!

I just hope my grandson’s first words are not RAA RAA!

Is Peter Rabbit Really A Hare?

I watched Peter Rabbit the other day with my grandson, he likes watching Peter rabbit and his friends run through the forest.

Peter Rabbit is an animated children’s television programme that is shown on CBeebies, it has an exciting theme tune that you can sing along too.
                                                         
It’s a delightful animated children’s television series about Peter Rabbit, his family and friends. Peter’s friend Lily and his cousin Benjamin always accompany him on an adventure in the forest where they live.

In each adventure they avoid being caught by the sly old fox Mr Tod, who wants to catch them for his dinner!

Lily is my favourite rabbit she has very pretty eyes, and wears a pink cardigan; it reminds me of the one my Nan knitted for me as a child, such beautiful memories.

Mr Tod the sly old fox makes me laugh, his plan’s to capture the three young rabbits never goes as he planned. The rabbits always manage to escape his clutches; it’s very exciting to watch.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion the animation looks dated, however the story lines are great to watch.

My final thought: it’s great to see the forest animal’s work together to defeat the fox, but I do wonder if Peter is really a hare and not a rabbit.

Are you a Lola or a Charlie?

I like to watch Charlie & Lola when it comes on the television but my grandson prefers to play with his cars!

Charlie & Lola is an animated children’s programme that is shown on CBeebies.
This series is based on the books written and created by Lauren Child.
                                                       
The stories are about a brother and sister and their bond with each other.

Charlie has a little sister called Lola.
Lola is a very annoying little sister she likes to get her own way all the time.
Charlie likes to please his little sister but sometimes it can be quite difficult.

Personally I think Lola is quite spoilt, however with that said she always tries to put things right once Charlie reasons with her.

My favourite character is Charlie he is a well behaved little boy; he has a softly spoken voice and is very diplomatic when dealing with his little sister Lola.

Charlie is a caring brother, he loves his sister very much; not at all like me and my brother when we were younger!

It makes me laugh when Lola can’t get her own way or things go wrong; well that’s what happens when you behave badly!

It’s worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it is very educational, shows friendship and love between a brother and sister.

My final thought: is that there are many Lola’s in this world but not enough Charlie’s!

Are you a Lola or a Charlie?

Is Charley Bear Mischievous?

I watched Little Charley Bear with my grandson the other morning.

Little Charley Bear is an animated children’s programme that is shown on CBeebies.
It was created and produced by Daniel Pickering and is narrated by James Corden.
                                      
The animation is very good, the narration works well and the theme tune is lovely to sing along too.

This delightful children’s programme features a little bear called Charley who uses his imagination to go on adventures with his toy friends Bellarina, Caramel, Frozo, Midge, Niblet and Rivet.

My favourite character has to be Charley he is really cute, cuddly and sometimes mischievous, he is very much like my grandson.

It’s worth watching, young children will love it. 

In my opinion this children’s programme is really good it will nurture a child’s imagination. It also shows friendship between toys!

My final thought: if toys can come alive using a child’s imagination; then could I use my imagination to make the car wash it self?  

Now that’s wishful thinking!

Or is it, what do you think?
