Sid - Bug Club August 27, 2010
K. Blunt
My three year old absolutely loves this video (and Sid). Watches it repeatedly and doesn't get tired of it. Episode on decay was a little creepy for her, but she's gotten over it, and she has learned so many science facts! We love Sid the science kid!
Not sure who likes Sid more! May 3, 2010

My son kept saying "Where's the one with the bugs?" as we watched all four episodes boxed in the package called "The Bug Club." We bought the DVD because we thought a show with "Science" in the name that's subtitled "The Bug Club" would contain at least one show devoted entirely to profiling a bunch of cool bugs. (Bring on the dung beetles and water striders!) Sorry, no.
Toddlers and preschoolers love nature. They are too young to be jaded and will soak up pretty much any factual material that is simply presented. According to this show, children won't be interested in nature unless it's accompanied by: - small-child characters shaking their hips, street-rhyming and playing air guitar (this section goes on endlessly and is repeated in each show); - Sid pulling out a gigantic, media-style microphone, leaning in sideways and popping the mike into his friends' faces when asking them a question; - the kids yukking it up with Laugh-In style jokes that might graze the show's theme at best; - the teacher belting out a number. Possibly the Mickey Mouse Club was the creators' inspiration. The entertainment-TV inspired parts of the shows take up a lot of time and are not as interesting as the science parts, and unfortunately also seem to be saying (to the small child watching) that it's just as important to behave like you're on TV as it is to be interested in science.
The show has some undeniable good points -- the family is amusing (if somewhat idealized) and has great values, there is a good attitude about learning, the scientific topics are well chosen even if very lightly presented, there is a positive presentation of school routine, and small kids like the jokes.
ps -- The computer-animated Claymation gives the kids mouths without upper lips that are kind of creepy-looking in motion. This might bother the very young viewer.

My son really likes the "Sid the Science Kid" series on PBS, and these DVDs appear to be those PBS shows on DVD. So far i have 3 of the DVDs and have pre-ordered "Weather Kid Sid" due out in the summer.
Sid the Science Kid... November 8, 2009

Great buy! We recently had a 17 hour flight to Europe with our 1 year old and it kept her interested and happy for awhile. She loves the songs and watching the kids. I love that it teaches kids to ask questions and love learning.
