How Does He Know My Name?

Posted on October 9th, 2008 by SusieJ


There is something indistinctly delightful to a child when he hears his name spoken by someone they least expect to know their name. Billy Blue Hair: Why Do Giraffes Have Long Necks?, a combination animation/real-live nature DVD that addresses my son personally, by name, didn’t fail to delight my son.

Right on the DVD cover, my son’s name was emblazoned, right alongside of Billy Blue Hair himself — an animated little guy with tall blue hair, who is the host of this award-winning (2006 iParenting Media Award) animal video, sent to me by the Parent Bloggers Network. Billy took us on an adventure, while looking for his dog Doogie, to visit Monkeys, Giraffes (his favorite) and lions. Sprinkling facts along the way, about each animal, Billy Blue Hair happily entertained my son for 30 minutes.

Every time Billy said his name, my son giggled and said, “How does he know that?!” This, combined with the beautiful shots of animals swinging in the trees, looking silly for the camera, made this a DVD that satisfied him beyond the novelty of hearing his name. I hope Billy Blue Hair has help to lay the foundation for a continued love of nature. as my son’s curiosity continues to evolve. Billy Blue Hair: Why do Giraffes Have Long Necks? is available for $12.99.
