Bullying has become a huge epidemic across the country and is an important topic that should be discussed in every household. Treating each other with respect and having the courage to stand up to people when they are doing wrong are values that are lacking in society. It's important that we start teaching our children at a young age the signs of bullying and how to react to such behavior. Parental involvement and structure can help kids enormously. If we know better, we do better. That's where Captain McFinn and Friends come in handy...Hot off the presses...

I had the opportunity to check out Captain McFinn and Friends! I received the...Come Along with The Friend-Ship Band CD with 14 cute and fun songs, the books: The Rock, Coral Rose and The Legend of Captain McFinn and Friends, PLUS the Finn-tastic Activity Book (w/stickers)!The kids really enjoyed these books... they have bright and fun colors, cute characters, and a great message. My daughter got a kick out of reading the books to my son (although we read them in parts... my 3 year old can't sit still too long). The best part about the books (besides the lessons in helping people and being nice to people), was that at the end of each book, they include some fun and educational facts. They enjoyed the activity book and stickers too. Their favorite book? It was... ROCK! Be sure to check out the Captain McFinn and Friends series for yourself, it makes a great gift for kids of all ages!*Disclaimer- I was not financially compensated in any way for this review.
