Nickelodeon Favorites: Food With Friends! DVD CLOSED

I have good news for all of you Nick Jr. fans out there! Nickelodeon has just released Nickelodeon Favorites: Food With Friends on DVD.  This special DVD includes the beloved characters from the hit Nickelodeon series Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, The Wonder Pets!, Blue’s Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba! and Ni Hao, Kai-lan as they explore and celebrate different types of food.

Here is a list of the episodes and their synopsis, which are included on the Nickelodeon Favorites: Food With Friends DVD:

Dora the Explorer – El Día de las Madres- It’s Mother’s Day and Dora wants to help Papi bake Mamá a special cake.  Three key ingredients are missing: bananas, nuts and chocolate, so with Boots’ help, Dora sets out to gather them. Then it’s time for a big Mother’s Day party with all of Dora’s friends and their mommies!

Go, Diego, Go! – Green Iguana Helps Abuelito Plant a New Strawberry Farm- It’s time for Abuelito’s Strawberry Festival, but when a strong wind blows all the strawberries away, Alicia must ask Diego for help.  Green Iguana can save the day by transporting strawberry seeds in her belly and putting them into the soil so more strawberries can grow.  They have to climb up trees to get to the top of the cliff, use stilts to get through the grass, swim through the lily pads and help iguana camouflage to hide from a scary animal.  Most importantly, Iguana must get to Abuelito’s farm!

The Wonder Pets! – Save the Bee/Save the Squirrel- The Wonder Pets shrink down to bee-size to help a baby bee collect nectar for her first hive.  Later on, a piglet comes to live in the classroom and the Wonder Pets each want to take care of it on their own.  Eventually, they realize they need to work together to take care of the rather large piglet.

Blue’s Clues – The Grow Show- To find out what Blue wants to do outside, come help look for clues to learn the process of where orange juice comes from with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper; investigate the elements of length and volume by comparing inchworms and puddles with Shovel and Pail; and categorize fruits and vegetables by where they grow with the felt friends.

Yo Gabba Gabba! – Eat- The characters learn the fun of eating vegetables and healthy meals.  During “Party in My Tummy” and “Snacky Snack Snack” the vegetables beg to participate; and then the characters learn to try new things in “Try It You’ll Like It.”  And finally, everyone learns that cleaning up their mess is just as fun as having a party in “Clean It Up”.

Ni Hao, Kai-lan – Happy Chinese New Year- It’s Chinese New Year, which means a big feast and red envelopes with friends and family!  Kai-lan and her friends are thrilled because this year, they’re old enough to carry the huge dragon costume.  Rintoo is assigned to march in the middle of the dragon but he doesn’t think the middle is important so he walks away.  Without Rintoo, they can’t carry the dragon so Kai-lan must find a way to show Rintoo that every job on a team is important.  In the end, the Dragon Team comes together to make the dragon dance and Yeye ends the day by giving a special red envelope to everyone.

Nickelodeon was nice enough to send my family a copy of Nickelodeon Favorites: Food With Friends on DVD to review.   By now, you all know that Blake is a huge Diego fan, so his favorite episode was Go, Diego, Go! – Green Iguana Helps Abuelito Plant a New Strawberry Farm.  Since he also loves strawberries and lizards, which he thought the iguana was, this episode was even cooler to him.  I loved how this DVD encourages kids to try new foods and shows how different cultures have different cuisine.  I have always been a fan of the Nickelodeon Favorites DVDs, because they feature all my boys’ favorite  Nick Jr. shows on one disc.

Nickelodeon Favorites: Food With Friends has a running time of approximately 148 Minutes and includes the DVD Special Features:        Team Umizoomi Music Videos, I Love Milk Song and Supermarket Song.  This DVD is available for purchase now from amazon.com and retails for $16.99.  I would definetly pick up a copy of this DVD if you have any car trips planned for the summer!
