A little boring!
It may be a big dog, but it sure is boring. It may not be kiddy, like Barney, but not as good as Arthur.

Elizabeth is Lucky!
My daughter loves this show in every way! She wishes she was Elizabeth and I bet there are a few others that do too. There is always a lesson to be learned and playing together means a lot. This is always one of my first picks for her.
