Not long ago, someone called @YayPlanes started following me on Twitter.
The name made me laugh, so I followed them back.
Badda bing, badda boom, shortly thereafter @YayPlanes direct messaged me with an offer to review Yay! Planes, the DVD.
Yay! Planes is hosted by two sock puppets who live in a lost suitcase.
Kicking off with an easy-to-learn theme song consisting of the words "yay, planes!", we then hear from "Argyle" and "Jim" (the socks) about parts of an airplane, the shapes that airplanes are made from, and even how planes fly!
At some points, Argyle and Jim have witty banter that was not engaging to my children. The LETTERS ON AN AIRPLANE song is lots of fun, teaching the ABCs NATO-style: A - ALFA; B - BRAVO; C - CHARLIE; D - DELTA; E - ECHO...this is valuable information for when Jojo and I want to play spy games.
Airplane fans can also watch takeoffs and landings on Yay! Planes, and get a first-person perspective of what it looks like being high in a plane.
Young plane aficionados will find lots to like about Yay! Planes.
There is a Yay! Planes Facebook page and a Yay! Planes blog.
I was provided a copy of Yay! Planes for review.
