Our Thoughts~ We love Sid at our house. I love to watch my kids pile up with their own questions during the episodes. Most of the time the episodes to an amazing job answering all of my children's questions but ever blue moon I get the pleasure of talking them through a question they still have. It is fun to listen to their scientific minds pick apart something and absorb new meanings. Sid really challenges the world and asks the best question and my kids learn as he learns the answers. So tune into your PBS station this coming week starting Monday for these great new Episodes.
