Kid Guides DVD Finds Favor with SLJ

Janson Media's Kid Guides: Museums DVD was reviewed favorably by the important trade publication, School Library Journal. The title is the third in a collection of four Kid Guides DVDs. In part, the reviewer noted, 'In this third title in the series, adapted from an award-winning weekly television show, we travel along with hosts Matt and Brittney on their visit to two fascinating museums. First stop is the predominantly hands-on Franklin Institute Museum in Philadelphia where they explore a human heart, discover what gives fireworks their colors by exploding balloons, launch a raw egg to learn about protective sports gear, ride a sky bike above the exhibits, and meet Ben Franklin for a fascinating lesson in the Hall of Electricity.... Next, the children are off to Washington, DC, to infiltrate the International Spy Museum... Viewers not only learn about the museum(s), but also benefit from the lessons that Matt and Brittany learn as they interact with museum personnel... A fun way to visit these museums and learn what they have to offer.'
