Adorable tot Maggie, her Ferocious Beast buddy, and swine friend Hamilton make up a cheerful, chummy trio in this charming compilation of five episodes from the popular Nick Jr. TV series. In "Beastly Picture," the Ferocious Beast accidentally messes up Maggie's painting of him, and then unsuccessfully tries to cover it up, while "The Big Duck" finds the threesome afraid of a huge duck trailing them (until they discover her motive). "Hamilton's Pet" teaches the pig a lesson about taking an animal out of its natural habitat, and "My One and Only Box" presents the problem of fixing Hamilton's precious cardboard box, damaged in a sledding accident. Finally, in "Mr. Shivers," Maggie's magical snow globe brings cool relief from hot weather and helps save a snowman pal. Loaded with imagination, solid lessons, and cute dialogue (Maggie's favorite exclamations include "green tangerines!" and "tumblin' teddy bears!"), this journey to Nowhere Land really takes young viewers somewhere and is highly recommended. [Note: the DVD includes the extra episode "The King of Nowhere Land."] Aud: K, E, P. (J. Williams)
