Mike the Knight: Knight in Training



History lesson for us all!
This is absolutely another winner with my kids. The lessons are easy to understand and relatable. But my four year old really started questioning more of the atmosphere and setting of the show. "what's a princess, queen, knight, dragon, etc." He's seen these things on other shows but this video struck a chord with him. "Where are the cars and phones." So we've been getting books and looking online to answer his questions. (Cause I don't always know how to answer him!) so this was definitely an unexpected outcome from watching this movie. But thank you NCircle for the opportunity to again LOVE something we never expected!!

Mike Does It Right
As an NCircle NSider I got a copy of Mike The Knight - Knight In Training DVD to review. This DVD runs 56 minutes and has 5 episodes; Scary Dragons, Evie's Birthday Present, Fluttering Favor, Trollee's Sleepover and Mission Home. There are a few bonus features; Glendragon Matching Game, Meeting Mike's Friends and Mike The Knight Theme Song.
For those of you who have never seen the show I'll give you a quick rundown. Mike is a young boy who is a knight in training; he wants to be a great knight just like his father. So in every episode he takes on a task, usually at first he doesn't get it right. But with the help from his sister Evie, who is doing some training of her own to become a wizard, and his two best friends... who just happen to be dragons, he finally gets it right. He has a cute motto of "Be A Knight And Do It Right".
Each episode is not only entertaining but they all teach some good life lessons. The characters are lovable and vivid. Now even though the show...

Little Audiences
Mike the Knight....
is a colorful little series about an adventurous little boy!
Mike tries to follow in his father's footsteps and pulls his two dragon friends into his little adventures. Mike's little sister, Evie, wants to always tag along. The funny little rascal put a spell on Mike's sword that every time he pulls it out of its case it becomes a brush a candle or some other tool that does end up helping with his adventure. Sharing and caring are two of many other values Mike will teach our young. I have to honest, it took a while for us older folks to get used to Mike the Knight, since it was our first encounter with him. But my little boy found himself asking for more. He is 1.5 yrs old, I recommend Mike the Knight for the younger audience.
