A World of Education…Right in Your Pocket
“Pocket Snails® Letter Adventure” One of the Most Honored Children’s Videos of 2004 Now Available on DVD.
Surprise, AZ (PRWEB) February 21, 2005 -- Life sure has a lot of lessons to
teach. An abundance of knowledge is acquired during the short but pivotal
developmental years of early childhood. As daunting as it can be, who wouldn’t
appreciate having fun and supportive friends close by to help? Maybe as close
as…your pocket!
Meet Gordon, Dale and Buttons, a.k.a. the Pocket Snails,
a trio of playful characters featured in the Pocket Snails® Letter Adventure, a
delightful VHS program that is one of the most honored children’s videos of
2004, created by Soaring Star Productions LLC of Sunrise.
Produced by
Kate Beale who lives in Surprise with her husband and their four-year-old and
six-year-old, Pocket Snails Letter Adventure was originally released on VHS and
now is available on DVD along with a musical CD of all the originals songs from
the video program, plus bonus songs not found on the DVD/VHS. Extras on the DVD
include interactive activities like letter games, a music player featuring the
Pocket Snails theme song and other fun songs from the program, and “Meet the
Snails.” Future titles in the Pocket Snails series will be released later in the
year and include Phonics, Shapes & Colors and Numbers.
“We want to
encourage children’s imagination and their enthusiasm for learning with these
delightful whimsical characters, which will charm even the youngest of viewers,”
says Beale, vice president, Soaring Star Productions. “The Pocket Snails series
offers parents of preschool children the perfect introduction and reinforcement

The pocket in the series belongs to young Jake, a boy
learning about the world around him with the help of the snails that lives
in…that’s right…his pocket! Together, they embark on magical adventures in
learning, engaging young viewers with humorous storylines; toe-tapping music and
sing-along songs; and colorful visuals--creating “a soaring start for little
minds™.”
In Pocket Snails Letter Adventure, the Pocket Snails make their
way through Letter Land with camera in hand photographing each letter to take
back to Jake so that he may learn the letters himself. Each letter is introduced
in an enchanting fashion through colorful animation and a fun storyline, making
valuable use of repetition so no child is left behind in learning his/her ABCs.
A toe-tapping, upbeat version of the Alphabet Song also provides reinforcement
in an easy-to-learn fun segment.
Pocket Snails Letter Adventure and
other Snaily Songs CD features eleven peppy, original songs as well as a lyric
book so young listeners may sing along with their tiny new friends again and
again. Among the tracks are those included on the DVD and some extra tunes--“We
Love the Vowels,” “Upper Case, Lower Case,” and “I Love the Pocket Snails.”
Audio bloopers make for a laugh-out-loud ending to a delightful CD.
