Little Charley Bear DVD Review and Giveaway!

....and the winner is:




Di Coke! Please contact me within 48 hours to claim your DVD!


Have you met Little Charley Bear? Little Charley Bear is a CGI infant series about an imaginative and playful bear called Charley. Under the watchful eye of his friend, the Narrator, Charley Bear uses his imagination to play and go on adventures where he discovers new things about himself and the world around him through active role play. Aimed at young children aged up to four years, Little Charley Bear is a gently paced show that inspires creativity, discovery and imagination.




Blondie Boy was sent a copy of Charley Bear's new DVD "Are you there Charley Bear?" with  six of his most exciting imaginary adventures, plus fantastic bonus features.  I've got to be honest, Blondie Boy was less than interested. He loved dancing to the theme music but otherwise he wouldn't sit and watch.  Blondie Boy doesn't really watch TV and I thought he might be a little young so I asked my friend Deb what her children who are 2 and almost 5 thought of Charley bear.


Both her son and daughter loved Charley Bear! They both really enjoyed watching the DVD and her 5 year old said Charley Bear had "a great imagination." The episodes are just long enough to keep a child's attention but not too long to lose it.  I like how Charley Bear started out imagining he was doing an activity and then he was transported to really doing it!


Charley Bear doesn't speak and while the episodes are driven by his imagination, they are narrated by the Narrator, James Corden. Depending on  if you are fan of him (or if your husband isn't :cough:) this may or may not be a selling point.





Are You There Charley Bear? is available on Amazon or you can find him on Facebook and BBC2 at 10:10am OR you could win your own copy in my giveaway!
