Wow.  A bunch of great kids DVDs were released today:

• Baby Einstein: World Music  Songs and music from around the world for Baby Einstein fans.
• California Dreams  G-rated Saturday morning sitcom from the 1990s.  Some young moms may remember this fondly.  Some old moms (like me) may not remember it at all.
• Goosebumps: Return of the Mummy  TV show based on the award-winning book series by R.L. Stine.  A mummy awakens in an Egyptian pyramid.
• Goosebumps: The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight  Another episode from the Goosebumps TV series.  Evil scarecrows inhabit Grandma and Grandpa’s farm.
• Handy Manny: Manny’s Green Team  Five new episodes not yet featured on the Playhouse Disney show.  Handy Manny and friends fix things and are environmentally friendly.
• Hannah Montana: Keeping It Real  Five episodes from the Disney Channel series.  Very slowly, I have become a Miley Cyrus fan.
• Pokemon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior  The latest in the Pokemon movie series.  My youngest two kids are into Pokemon and watch these on Cartoon Network.
• Schoolhouse Rock! Earth  Schoolhouse Rock goes green.  I am a big fan of Schoolhouse Rock.  My all-time favorite is Interplanet Janet.  (She’s a galaxy girl.)
• Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Big Journey  Strawberry Shortcake and her sweet friends take a road trip around the world.

Parents, be aware that Marley & Me was also released today on DVD.  Big red flag - this is not a movie for children.  Marley looks cute on the cover and your kids may want to see it, but many parents have warned me that this PG-rated film is really not appropriate for children.
