Blast Off and Fix It Right

We were recently sent a copy of Handy Manny: Fixing it Right and Little Einsteins: Race for Space. Since Michael loves both of these shows I was excited to review them.

Both DVDS have one original episode and a few other episodes that already aired. Both shows are absolutely adorable and age appropriate. My only criticism is that I wish there was more than one original episode on each DVD, but this bothered me more than Michael. It is clear that kids can the watch the same show over and over again.

The Promotional material says-

Handy Manny: Hop up and jump into fun with Handy Manny and his loyal, lovable talking tools. Working together, they'll get the job done before you can say, "Gracias, mi amigo!" Cheer on Manny and his tools as Rusty heroically overcomes his fear of heights to lead the team, repair a jungle gym, and make a grateful new friend. Pat surprises everyone, including himself, when he's the one who finds a clever solution to a really big problem. And Dusty solves the oh-too familiar mystery -- "Where do socks go?" -- when a clothes dryer seems to be "eating" them. Join Manny and his gregarious gang of can-do helpers and you'll discover how cooperation and creative thinking make FIXING IT RIGHT fantastic fun for everyone!

Little Einsteins: Rev up Rocket and soar full speed ahead into action-packed, music-powered adventures! Join Leo, June, Quincy, Annie and Rocket on a mission to rescue the Three Little Piggies when their airplanes spin out of control. Can Rocket fly fast enough and far enough to bring the Piggies all the way home? Only with your help! Journey with the LITTLE EINSTEINS™ as they zoom to outer space on their most thrilling voyage ever! Then, get ready to race around the globe against the world's greatest flying machines. But look out! Big Jet is up to his old tricks. And he'll do anything to win the trophy. Whether your preschooler is exploring the ancient city of Machu Picchu, whooshing past stars or planets, or searching for hidden treasure in Hawaii, RACE FOR SPACE is a first-class ticket to nonstop entertainment you can enjoy together!

Michael definitely prefers the Little Einsteins, but that is because he is going through a major outer space phase right now. Anything that involves outer space he loves. This was the perfect DVD for him right now.

I would say that if you have toddlers that like these shows, either one would be a great addition to your DVD collection.
