It's Canadian!
Review date: 2007-09-26 Rating: 8 out of 10
Maybe I'm nit-picking, but Little Bear is very definitely Canadian not American. The accent, to my English ears, is far gentler than the shouty American voices I hear in Dora the Explorer etc. (Maybe it's because I have Canadian relatives and friends). Anyway, LB is a real charmer and my three-year-old son thinks these stories are just great. You can see LB on Nick Jr every night at 6.30.
My older children loved Little Bear when it was on television, so I bought the DVD for my younger children now they are at the same age (2 and 3). Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have captured their imagination the same.
The characters are American, and the accent can begin to grate after a while.
This DVD comes in a paper envelope, together with a puzzle book and some felt tip pens. I would have rather spent the money on a proper protective DVD case than the puzzle book and pens though.
