PreS-Gr 3-The Wiggles (Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Anthony Field, and Greg Page) are back with 17 new songs in a variety show setting that includes singing and dancing on the bandstand. Joined by their Wiggly friendsACaptain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and Dorothy the DinosaurAthe Wiggles present music that covers topics ranging from making bread to laying bricks, and from telling time to cowboys and cowgirls. Interspersed in these upbeat live performances is footage of the real places and things being sung about. Footage of Central Park in the summer is used during "Central Park New York," a captain and his crew are featured in "Fly Through the Sky," and scenes from a dairy farm are included in "Calling All Cows." Informational tidbits that will appeal to older children are an integral part of many of the songs. In "New York Firefighter," a firefighter introduces the song by telling about his gear and life as a firefighter. In "Say Aah at the Doctors" and "Open Wide Look Inside at the Dentist," a doctor and a dentist prepare children for a visit to their offices. Finally, in "Let's Go Swimming," Olympian Kieran Parkins and his family give adults and children swimming safety tips. The DVD includes a look at the making of The Wiggles' Cold Spagheti Western, a photo gallery, subtitles, and a "jukebox" for song selection. Filled with bright colors, non-stop dancing, and lively music, this will be a winner with Wiggles fans.-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
