Pros: smart, informative, funny, touching. Speaks directly to kids without talking down to them.
Cons: sometimes a little too sentimental but in this world, maybe that's ok.

| chrysalishs's Full Review: Boomerang! Magazine |
My kids grew up with Boomerang. We all listened on car trips, over walkmans on airplanes and in our living room. We all learned from it and benefited from the simple yet intelligent way things were explained.
When my kids first opened a bank account, we listened to the bank segment and they were fascinated to learn that the money they deposit is different than the money they withdraw. Therefore the silver dollars stayed in a piggy bank at home.
Every year we listen to the story on Rosa Parks in my preschool because it explains the story in a simple yet very touching and moving way. There are so many informative segments on history, science and commerce, but our favorite is always the Dave Shmave story which is like Garrison Keillor for children. My children still check to see if I am crying when we listen together!
This is our favorite gift for birthdays and we hear from families for months on how much their children look forward to the tapes and enjoy listening over and over.
