OUR THOUGHTS
The show Martha Speaks is designed to increase the vocabulary of young children, Bravo! I still think the idea of a dog that can talk as a result of eating alphabet soup is neat. So much like something a child would imagine! The episodes are colorful and educational. CJ loves the animals and the episodes hold his interest all of the way through. My favorite episode was Truman’s Secret, where he hides from all of his friends in order for them not to see his new haircut. So like a child!
