Ni Hao Kai-Lan
 
Ni Hao, Kai-Lan finally premiered yesterday on the Nick Jr. TV network, and Tim Goodman over at the San Francisco Chronicle has posted a review on SFGate.com. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read the excerpt below from the review:
“Ni Hao, Kai-lan” takes the “play along, think along” concept that was popularized by “Blues Clues” and adds the ethnic element that helped fuel “Dora” as a major hit with kids. Like those shows, Kai-lan (who is 5 “and three-quarters,” if you must know) goes on a variety of adventures and asks children viewing at home a string of questions. (This interactive trick has proved quite successful in the children’s programming arena. Kids love to shout out their answers.) Along the way, everybody learns a valuable lesson.
His review is pretty helpful and points out some interesting aspects of the show that are pretty different from the way Dora does things. It sounds as if it’s a pretty quality show. Of course, that’s only one review. If you want more information on it, click here to go to its official site.
