Pick. This
Emmy award-winning Sesame Street special first aired in the
eighties and is now available on DVD. Big Bird in China
is a memorable musical featuring a treasure hunt theme
and a most delightful host--the lovable, curious, and
personable Big Bird.
Big Bird and his pal Barkley set
out on an
adventure to find a legendary Chinese phoenix by visiting
Chinese landmarks pictured on an old scroll. The pair begin
their hunt by searching for The Great Wall of China. Along
the way, they discover more than just famous landmarks—they
meet friendly people, watch a ballet, learn Chinese
vocabulary, play games with children, visit a schoolhouse,
listen to legends, and more. The duo meet up with a sweet
little girl who speaks English and accompanies them on their
journey. What an adventure!
Although originally released in
the early eighties, this musical remains charming, engaging,
and memorable. Besides offering children a unique look at
Chinese culture, Big Bird in China serves up suspense, wonder, and
heart-warming moments. Highly recommended!
