Goodnight Blue - A Nighttime Musical Adventure
Good ol' Steve, his blue dog Blue, and all their friends want to help you get your child cozy with the idea of going "night-night" with this follow-up to Blue's Big Treasure. Goodnight Blue tells stories, sings songs, and plays Blue's Clues in a well-paced 10-track set of material geared toward preschoolers. Included are pals Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and Baby Paprika, all of whom work through the ritualized bedtime process in a way that will help young children sort out the difference between day and night. Along the way, the cast also helps guide kids to the magic of their dreams by trying to figure out just what Blue wants to dream about. If your little ones are true Blue's Clues nuts, this tidy production might be the bedtime bromide you've been looking for when the blanky, favorite books, and an old lullaby fail you. --Martin Keller
