DVD Review: “Wordgirl Vs. the Energy Monster”

Disclosure: I was sent this DVD to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wordgirl Vs. the Energy Monster

Released: May 14, 2013

Studio: PBS

Running Time: 50 minutes

WORDGIRL and her sidekick CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE fight the good fight against dastardly villains and bad vocabulary in this thrilling collection!

Dinner Or Consequences (Parts 1 & 2): Dr. Two Brains and the Energy Monster want to turn the whole city into cheese! It’s up to WordGirl to stop them even if it means missing her family feast and facing the consequences.

Best Fan Club Meeting Ever: TJ plans to divulge a secret about WordGirl to International WordGirl Fan Club members, until Tobey threatens to destroy the clubhouse. Will WordGirl save the clubhouse and her fans?

Day at the Museum: Scoops takes Becky, Bob, and Violet to the museum to find inspiration for his next news story. When they go in search of a haunted treasure, The Butcher follows right behind! WordGirl enriches vocabulary skills, fosters better reading comprehension and instills a love of language in all children.

Honestly Wordgirl is a show I didn’t think my kids would like or get, but I was wrong.  I think they have seen it before on PBS but having a whole DVD was perfect for them.  If you (or your child) has never seen Wordgirl, it is a show where a girl is both a regular girl and a superhero, along with her sidekick who is a monkey!  The show is all about vocabulary words with it teaching eight new vocabulary words in the four episodes.  I am amazed at how my kids pay attention to this show even though the main character is a girl and its about words, I guess they haven’t realized I want them to watch it because its educational!  What is great though about the vocabulary words is that not only do the characters use the words but they explain they explain the words.  My boys even repeat them and I think they are understanding them.  The show is also unlike other animated shows though which is a nice break.

BUY IT: You can buy “Wordgirl Vs. the Energy Monster” wherever DVDs are sold for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
