Blue
Goes to School (Blue's Clues)
by Angela C. Santomero
Paperback from Simon Spotlight/Nickelodeon
ISBN: 068983280X
Blue loves going to school! She loves painting time, reading time,
and lunchtime. But sometimes Blue has to face some tough situations at
school. Preschoolers get to help their favorite puppy figure out solutions
to some of her problems in this interactive story.
Blue loves going to school. Each day she fills her backpack with lunch,
a smock for painting, and her favorite book for reading time. When she
arrives at school, all her friends are there: Green Puppy, Orange Kitten,
Magenta, and Purple Kangaroo, as well as their teacher, Mrs. Marigold.
But school isn't all fun and games. Sometimes there are challenges, such
as when Blue knocks over her milk at lunchtime, or when Green Puppy sits
in Blue's special place on the reading rug. "Should Blue make Green Puppy
move out of her favorite spot? Or should Blue sit somewhere else today?"
Readers are treated to the preschool pooch's thought processes as she envisions
each option, and are asked to help Blue come up with the best answer to
the problem.
Blue is a favorite among toddlers and preschoolers from her Nick Jr.
TV show, Blue's Clues and many lively storybooks (Magenta's Visit,
What
to Do, Blue?, Welcome to Blue's Clues, etc.). In this interactive
story, young children can help their beloved blue pup face some very familiar
school-day concerns---and find terrific solutions. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie

Blue's
Clues - Blue's Big Musical Movie () VHS
Blue bounds into her first feature-length film ready to sing. She gets
sidetracked along the way, of course, but that's part of the brilliant
Blue's Clues formula. Each half-hour TV show presents engaging, easy-to-grasp
mini-mysteries that are within toddlers' reach. This time Blue; her huge-eyed,
slightly loopy human companion, Steve; and their cadre of talking-object
friends are scurrying around, preparing for a backyard music show that
day. Everybody picks a number to perform; Blue's is a duet with Tickety
Tock, but the clock contracts laryngitis. Who will be Blue's new partner?
A game of Blue's Clues reveals the hardly reluctant replacement. The standard
discovery of three clues followed by the usual wind-down song would add
up to a colossal disappointment in a feature film, so substantial rounding-out
is provided. Steve stumbles onto a keyboard inhabited by a note called
G- Clef (the unmistakable voice of Ray Charles), who gives a tour of how
to make a song. First you pick the notes, then you work on rhythm, then
comes tempo, and, last but not least, "you've got to give it soul." This
movie's themes include perseverance (Tickety Tock can't sing but finds
a way to contribute anyway) and self-empowerment. Blue's Big Musical Movie
is a feast for little eyes and ears; the sets are so colorful they hurt
grown-up eyes, and the songs--especially the one that gets the Charles
treatment--are all sing-along-with-me winners. --Tammy La Gorce - Amazon.com

Blue's
Clues - Stop, Look and Listen () VHS
This 51-minute video opens with Steve taking a new look at familiar
surroundings. As Steve and his viewers play Blue's Clues to figure out
what Blue saw outside, they get a glimpse of how perspective can change
an object's appearance. Just watch how a paw print changes when reflected
in a mirror or take a look at a bundle of sticks through a vase of water.
The fun really begins when Blue offers Steve his kaleidoscope to view books,
a butterfly, and Mailbox's letter. Steve and his young viewers also make
use of perspective and deductive reasoning to help Squirrel figure out
who's calling him.
The second episode focuses on mysterious sounds around Steve and Blue's
house. As Steve tries to discover what Blue just heard on the porch, he's
intrigued by a variety of sounds. He listens to the dripping faucet, a
rushing stream, and popping popcorn. Especially effective is Steve's silent
walk home from the stream--complete with mime! Another fun sequence finds
Blue and Steve adding sound effects to a silent movie. Once you've figured
out the answer to Blue's Clues, curl up on the porch with the gang and
enjoy the sounds of nature. (Ages 2-10) --Tami Horiuchi - Amazon.com
