| SCRIBBLE SHOP Becky, the perky proprietor of the Scribble Shop, leads kids through a variety of activities that involve brainstorming, creative movement, singing, and more in this lively series. Scribble Shop. 2004. Scribble Shop. 4 VHS (each 25min.). $89.99. K–Grade 3. Becky, the perky proprietor of the Scribble Shop, leads kids through a variety of activities that involve brainstorming, creative movement, singing, and more in this lively series. After a mysterious brown paper bag arrives at the shop in the sampled Pretzel, Becky pulls out the familiar shaped object. Speaking directly to the audience, Becky challenges tots to come up with words associated with a pretzel (such as twist, salt, and dip). Becky then uses these ideas to create a funky pretzel dance, a song, and an art project. From time to time an animated character named Splatter (a paint blob with an attitude) adds comments. The host's enthusiasm, lively music, and the interactive format are sure to maintain kids' attention. Includes a teachers' guide and CD. Other series programs (available for $19.95 each) are Banana, Broccoli, and Cookie. ––Candace Smith Booklist Review, 2004 |
