Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used to work for PBS back in the early 90s and loved this show. The premise is that several kids solve mysteries through the use of a ghost. Sort of like the opposite of Mystery Inc, I guess.
Anyway, here's why the show is so cool. The only way these kids can communicate with the ghost is by writing it notes. Thus, part of the show focuses on how to put what you want to say into a clear and concise sentence or short paragraph.
While kids are being entertained with the mystery, they're also learning how to write clearly. Taking the thoughts in your head and putting them into words is a valuable skill to learn. As a lawyer who reads a lot of what people write, it's also not a skill many people have.
I'm buying this set for my 7 and 8 year olds.
