Parents are the first, and most important teachers of their children, not only directly teaching, but choosing products for their children. For preschoolers, the distinction between education and entertainment is subtle. Children of this age group are learning constantly, and the more enjoyment they get from what they watch, read, listen to, or interact with, the more they will take in, and learn. This site looks at a range of resources and media aimed at that critical age before school is started, and assesses the educational and entertainment value of these products. There are also profiles of the artists, writers, and performers involved, interviews, and lots of links to help parents become more informed consumers, choosing the most appropriate products to help give their preschooler a terrific learning head-start.

 There’s a lovely softness as the light changes from sharp to hazy in the book, and water turns from olive green to rich clear turquoise or the air and ice goes from lilac to grey to the orange and eggplant of sunset. Life in the Antarctic is portrayed richly, with polar bears arctic subs, a great blue whale, seagulls, dolphins and icebergs. There are also plenty of funny things, from a skiing kangaroo (famous, naturally), to a bird with a multicoloured tuft.

  Yes, there’s magic, but aside from a little mild-mannered tantruming, there’s nothing black about this film. There’s plenty of humour, and the overall theme is a positive one about being true to yourself, and giving into the magic of the inner child. Children will relate to the wise young character of Eric, who also has a few relationship difficulties of his own.
