Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Blue's Clues features Steve and his friend, the sweet, long-eared, curious dog Blue. Each segment explores problem-solving, something that the show's young audience will deal with, in various levels, on a daily basis. Blue's Clues slowly offers up three clues to uncover what's missing, what Blue wants, and other examples that are easy for preschoolers to relate to. Blue's Discoveries contains two science-oriented stories that feature an experiment Blue wants to try and what Blue would like to do with recycled items. These experiments can easily be replicated at home by kids and parents. --N.F. Mendoza

Rating:  - one of the more educational episodes
I acknowledge the flaw pointed out by another reviewer that going around with a magnifying glass looking at things does not exactly constitute an experiment, but it's easy to forgive that since there are so many other good things in this video. This is my personal favorite, and my three and a half son loves it too. As a result, we've had to reenact the cyclone experiment and traipse around with a magnifying glass. The planets song is the highlight of the whole tape: a fun, catchy way to remember ... Read More
Rating:  - Teaches the wrong lessons
Please see my review of "Blue's Big Pajama Party" for my rationale in reviewing these Blue's Clues tapes. Briefly, I'm reviewing only those tapes that seem to me to present some problem, and my lowest rating of any of them will be 3 stars. It's an otherwise excellent series.
I understand well that the material that's presented here needs to be given at a preschooler's level. There's bound to be a great deal of simplification, or even over-simplification. But it should be *correct* as far ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Blues Clues Tape
The Planet Song puts this song over the top. It's catchy and kids will learn all the planets in order.
Rating: - Great video
My 2 year old got this for his birthday in March. We watch it ALL of the time. He sings all of the songs and does the little hand motions that Steve does when singing. He knows all of the planets in the solar system and when he sees something that resembles saturn (any ball with what looks like rings), he yells to anyone around - 'SATURN HAS ICY RINGS'. No my younger son, 15 months, dances and runs into the room when he hears Steve.
Rating: - This one's a Hot Star!
This was my FIRST favorite Blue's Clues episode! Now there are too many favorites to name of course. Even at age 2 my son was singing along to the planets. I would start with "the sun's a..." and he would finish "...hot star!". We would do this through all the planets, and finish together. Now that he's 4 we reverse it, and when I finish with the wrong description (Earth is...really small), he tells me I'm silly and sings it correctly. Now my youngest is 2, and he's learning and singing along ... Read More
