My family loves PBS Kids. My girls love the shows and I love that they are always learning new things from watching them. One of our favorites is Peg + Cat. Both of my girls can count to 100 and they are just 3 and 5 – I totally think this is because of Peg + Cat. We were all thrilled when we found out a new Peg + Cat DVD will be arriving in stores July 5, 2016. We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek look at it and this is one you don’t want to miss!
Synopsis:
Solving problems is even more amazing when you’re doing it on another planet! In this DVD, Peg and Cat have to put their heads together to fix their spaceship, outsmart Big Mouth (a crafty space alien who loves to dance), and win a cosmic t-ball game. Good thing they’re great at spotting patterns and working together as a team! Join Peg and Cat as they visit the Purple Planet and use their TOTALLY AWESOME math skills to solve problems and have fun-filled space adventures. Purchase here.
“OUT OF THIS WORLD” features the following episodes:
“The Doohickey Problem”
When their space ship is smashed, Peg and Cat must reassemble its variously shaped parts, and retrieve 16 stolen doohickeys.
“The Long Line Problem”
While waiting in a long line, Peg and Cat try to help Richard realize his dream of being first in line for the first time.
“Richard the Third”
At Richard’s family’s highly competitive annual picnic, Peg and Cat try to help Richard achieve his dream of not coming in third in every single event.
“The T-Ball Problem”
Peg’s t-ball team, the Mighty Nine, have no chance against a team of alien all-stars – unless Peg can use the aliens’ t-ball cards to predict where they’ll hit.
Each PEG + CAT adventure features a story in which Peg and Cat encounter an unexpected challenge that requires them to use math and problem-solving skills. While it teaches specific math lessons, the series also emphasizes resilience and perseverance.
When the nominations for the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards were announced, PET + CAT was nominated for five awards, including: “Outstanding Pre-School Children’s Animated Program,” “Outstanding Writing in a Preschool Animated Program,” “Outstanding Directing in an Animated Program,” “Outstanding Music Direction and Composition,” and “Outstanding Original Song” for “Fairy Tale Wedding.” PEG + CAT won for “Outstanding Writing in a Preschool Animated Program” and “Outstanding Music Direction and Composition.”
