Pre-school starts on August 21st for my son. He’s actually looking forward to it. At school ,one of his favorite activities is to sing and play instruments. He can name every instrument and imitate their sounds. The singing is partially inherited from me, but his knowledge of musical instruments comes almost totally from watching The Little Einsteins on Playhouse Disney.
In addition to the start of school there is a new Little Einstein’s DVD coming out August 21st. Disney’s Little Einsteins – Rocket’s Firebird Rescue features 51 minutes of Rocket and his new mysterious friend, Firebird. The regular foursome of June, Annie, Quincy, and Leo are there as well. Rocket’s Firebird Rescue is the fifth DVD based on the popular show and we’re looking forward to adding it to our collection.
The DVD comes with a few bonus features:.
“Magic Mission Mode” — In this alternate viewing experience, discover new animated pop-up fun facts while enjoying the movie
Bonus Episode: “Rocket Soup”
French and Spanish Language Tracks (useful if you’re trying to teach your kid a second language, non?)
Here are three video clips from the new DVD that you can watch today:
