A mock TV cooking show called Let's Get Cooking! sets the stage for this 30-minute study of eggs. The show is cohosted by four enthusiastic preteens (à la the popular PBS program Zoom), who educate, entertain, and speak... more » right to the camera. And like Zoom, the action moves at a brisk pace. Minute-long sequences filmed on the show's kitchen set are interspersed with educational video footage, whimsical stop-action camera work (where Ukranian eggs pull stunts reminiscent of Monty Python fame), and an ongoing bit involving two puppets who are "watching" the TV show. Educational pieces include a trip to two poultry farms (one private, one commercial) and a short study of eggs used in various religious or cultural traditions. Also, amid a slew of predictable jokes, kitchen antics, and bantering, the four cohosts offer a kid-friendly recipe for muffin tin eggs, facts about nutrition and kitchen safety, and a science experiment or two. This "something for everyone" approach--where jokes often upstage the yolks--seems best suited for ages 5 to 9. --Liane Thomas« less
