PBS KIDS: 20 Incredible Tales  Review by Suzanne Lanoue 2/1/19

This DVD set is a nice one for young kids. They've taken various PBS cartoons that had episodes about superheroes and put them together. It's a fun little set for your little Batman or Spider-Man.

If you have little kids, then you're probably familiar with these characters and their shows: Wild Kratts, Nature Cat, Peg + Cat, Arthur, Caillou, Dinosaur Train and more. The first one, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, uses the "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" theme, changed somewhat. Apparently his people made that show. I had no idea.

Anyway, it's a good set and would make a great gift for any kids or parents. There are no features (as is common in kids' DVDs), but there are over 4 hours of cartoons, so this should keep the little rugrats busy for a while!
