"Being A Friend" Now on DVD (review)

On May 18th, this new DVD from Lionsgate and Hit Entertainment hit store shelves and a little later, it came to my home. Being A Friend is a DVD that gives little lessons from some of Alex's favorite characters on how to be a good friend. Ideas like working together, and thinking of others are taught through the different episodes.

Alex was particularly happy to see Fireman Sam. We were introduced to this show as a bonus episode on another DVD we own and Alex has been crazy about him ever since. Now, Alex likes to run around and pretend to be a fireman all the time. It's cute to watch.

There are 4 episodes on this DVD. One from each of the characters you see pictured above. Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Barney, and Thomas & Friends are names that my son knows and loves dearly.

Can I tell you my favorite part of the DVD (Beside the nice content)? My favorite part is that you can either watch all four episodes at one time or you can select one episode at a time. This works great in my house since Alex is only allowed so much TV time per day. We allow him to select one or two episodes (about 15 minutes each) and then we turn it off. In the end, he feels great about being able to make his own choice and I feel great about him not sitting and watching TV for a long time.

If you know a little guy or girl who likes these characters, I definitely recommend you pick it up for him/her. 

I give it two thumbs up!
