Curious Buddies: Let's Build!

Why should Bob get to do all the building? This fun addition to Nick Jr.'s Curious Buddies franchise underscores toddlers' fascination with building and construction equipment, combining live action and musical segments to introduce young viewers to different kinds of vehicles used in construction, as well as building materials, tools, and shapes. The Curious Buddies, five pastel-colored animal puppets voiced by children, act out such concepts as "biggest" and "smallest," while the supportive narrator and original songs ("Don't give up/Build it up") encourage perseverance when things go wrong. DVD extras include audio commentary, a music video for "Let's Go to the Beach," and a photo gallery. Recommended. [Note: also newly available in the Curious Buddies series are Let's Go to the Farm! and Let's Move!] Aud: K, P. (D. Liebenson)
