## What is Charlie & Company Videos I?

Unleash a one-of-a-kind learning adventure! Welcome to Charlie & Company, a charming live action/animation video series designed to teach preschoolers, kindergartners, and first graders core skills in very memorable ways. Meet Charlie, the beloved Golden Retriever and Miss Ellie, your “Anywhere Teacher.” Along with their furry and feathered cartoon friends they visit fun, familiar places to solve the “puzzle it out” question of the day and learn letters, numbers, crafts, fitness, music and more. Tagging along are Socrates the Owl, Violet Ringtail, a raccoon; Nestor Fields the adventure mouse; Autumn Red Squirrel; Levi Cottonwood, a beaver; and Oba the Bear and Jaz the Tiger.
Now get seven episodes of Charlie & Company in one great app! The first one—Hot Dog—is free.  In it the entire crew visits a real-life fire station. Kids will fall in love with Charlie, Miss Ellie, and their animated animal friends. The other 6 videos can be purchased in-app per episode or the entire season together for a discounted price.  Learning can happen anywhere, and each show features a different “school zone.” After the fire station, Charlie visits a farm, woods, gym, symphony auditorium, commercial kitchen and construction site. Come to a place where magic meets marvelous and every day is an adventure!

HOT DOG (included free)

In this episode of Charlie & Company, the “school zone” is a place where heroes live. Did you guess…a fire station? Yes, Charlie and Miss Ellie visit a real-life fire station, where they will solve a “puzzle it out” question of the day. To figure out the puzzle Charlie calls on his friends for help. Violet Ringtail, his favorite raccoon, teaches colors; Levi Cottonwood, Charlie’s beaver buddy, puts his math skills to work teaching about shapes; and Charlie’s tiny but adventurous mouse friend, Nestor Fields, builds vocabulary skills with directional words. Along the way they get help from real firefighters displaying important safety gear and their bright red fire trucks. Watch a “super, splendid, spectacular” fire ladder demonstration go up and down, and sing a fire station song, along with Brian Vander Ark and Miss Ellie.

Want more? Buy 6 more episodes of Charlie & Company individually or get the entire season for a discounted price. They follow the same format as Hot Dog, in completely different settings, with a variety of lessons.

### 4/5 — Very engaging.....but

*2015-06-03, version 1.0.1*

Very engaging, my son loved it but for some reason when I tried to purchase the other videos I was unable to do the in-app purchase. (It's driving me up the wall literally!) 
I want by all means to make sure to purchase the whole package. Once I'm able to do that, with no hitches, I will definitely re-rate this and give it a five star rating. 
Other than that it's a very good concept and fits my son's unique style of learning.
