new show on pbs kids :: xavier riddle and the secret museum :: giveaway

Have you heard about the new show on PBS kids? It’s called Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. It’s one of those shows that your kids will watch that will captivate you as well. You might even find it enjoyable! It’s a comedy driven animated adventure series that is based on the best-selling kids’ book series, Ordinary People Change the World, We will talk more about those books at the end of this post.

In each episode, the adventurous trio is presented with a social-emotional problem that young viewers can relate to. In order to help solve this problem, Xavier, Brad and Yadina deliberately turn to the Secret Museum: a bat-cave style room hidden beneath an ordinary museum, which allows them to travel back in time to meet real-life inspirational figures of the past when they were kids (i.e. Rosa Parks, Albert Einstein, etc.)

We are pretty strict about screen time during the school week. However, this show is so full of great history facts, I let the kids watch a 30 minute episode when their homework is done. We use YouTube TV and have it set to record each new episode. However you watch your PBS kids shows, be sure to get yourself set up to catch all the wonderful adventures that Xavier and his friends will be going on this season. You might find yourself brushing up on your history facts too!

In honor of the launch of this fantastic show, one lucky reader is going to win books from the Ordinary People Change the World series. We greatly enjoyed “I am Helen Keller” which was complete with a page of braille. It really brought the kids into her world as they closed their eyes and felt the pages.
