The Wot Wots Sneak-a-Peak a, Flamingo

Reviewer Group - Frances & Ben

Frances
These lucky WotWots have the most amazing adventures as they giggle their way across the land, learning about animals as they explore.  This exciting journey captivates preschoolers from the first introduction of the amazing travelling machine, to the discovery of fascinating animals from flamingos and lions, to pelicans and monkeys.

Ben
The WotWots have the coolest armchairs that they drive with controls on, and it takes them to the zoo this time where they find all the different animals.  My favourite is the spider monkey, but the flamingo is really cool too because it can stand on one foot for ages

Alison
These digitally animated alien creatures land in another 'world' to discover all kinds of weird and wonderful things in the animal kingdom. They peek through their 'sneak-a-peek' contraption inside their spaceship and look at real-life footage of everything from flamingos to lemons to strange plants. This series is educational as well as fun, and the pace of the narration is slow and careful, not unlike In the Night Garden and Teletubbies. Suitable for pre-schoolers.

Jonathan
I loved seeing the WotWots discover new and interesting animals and things through their sneak-a-peek. I wish I could live in a spaceship like that! I liked learning about letters and numbers, and how to sound out words. Sometimes the WotWots think they look the same as some of the animals, but they don't really

Another fun and exciting adventure from brother and sister duo Spotty Wot and Dotty Wot. Previous WotWot adventures have been based on an animal theme, and this one is no exception. Based in a zoo, SpottyWot and DottyWot zoom around on their hovercraft chairs, discovering all the different animals that live there, including a flamingo, Lion and even a Seal! Each story is based on a different animal adventure, and provides fun combined with learning interesting things about the animals. SpottyWot does some drawing and DottyWot uses her musical keyboard to watch educational videos about the animals they find in the zoo. Very childlike, repetitive language makes this a favourite for small children, best suited to under 7's.

Emmy
I love SpottyWot and DottyWot! They are so much fun and I love the way they zoom around on their cool chairs. I love looking at all the different animals with the WotWots and learning new things about them, and Dotty Wot and Spotty Wot make it lots of fun - they get very excited when they see a new animal! They also have lots of fun doing silly things while looking for the animals, which makes me laugh.

 

 

Thomas & Friends - Hero of the Rails

Reviewer Group - Ruth & Lucy/Daisy

Ruth
A nice movie about Thomas and his Friends saving the day in Sodor yet again. Lots to keep young boys interested here. Thomas meets some new friends into the fold and they all learn a valuable lesson along the way.  Very entertaining most suitable for preschoolers, particularly boys, who are sure to love this latest adventure from Thomas and his Friends. The DVD Special features are great and are sure to be a hit with any Thomas fan.. 

Lucy & Daisy
Lucy and I like Thomas and his friends the trains.  They have lots of fun together.  Thomas meets a new friend called Hiro who is from another country.  Spencer learns not to be talking too much about himself.  My favourite part of the movie is when Thomas meets Hiro and then Kevin and Victor.  Our cousin Luke will love this movie because he loves Thomas. Boys like Thomas more than girls, but Lucy and I liked it too!

Another classic Thomas and Friends tale which is sure to send every little boy into a frenzy and want to watch it over and over again, much like my son Bo. A story full of adventure which places emphasis on doing good and helping new friends. So get out and grab this latest Thomas instalment and enjoy all the excitement Hero of the Rails (the movie) has to offer.

Bo
This is the best Thomas story yet, I enjoyed learning all of the new engines names, but Thomas is still my favourite. I like to play with my trains while I watch the movie. I think that my best friend Lucas is going to love this, he loves Thomas even more than me… which is a lot!
