Editorial Reviews:

If you thought periwinkle was only a color, guess again. And while you're guessing, you're ready to play Blue's Clues, the wildly popular Nick Jr. show hosted by Steve Burns. Steve's appeal is that of a cool babysitter who kids adore and parents trust. Wearing his standard khakis and green rugby shirt, Steve sings, dances, and "skadoos" through a computer-generated world of animated objects and colors as yummy as fruit-striped gum. His dog, Blue, leads him in guessing games by leaving pawprints as "clues" that Steve (and viewers) must find and record in their handy-dandy notebook. The show's goal is to promote critical thinking while engaging kids in problem solving. Steve's earnestness adds the chemistry that makes it a hit. "Will you help me?" he asks young viewers with the sincerity of a trusted confidante as he steps up close to the camera, pausing to wait for a reply. Playtime with Periwinkle continues the winning formula with two 25-minute tales. In "Blue's Big Mystery," Steve and Blue find a magic fort in their neighborhood and wonder, Who is the mystery builder? A series of clue-solving questions will promote deductive reasoning and observation skills as young audiences uncover the mystery of Blue's new friend. In the second episode, "Periwinkle Misses His Friend," Blue's new neighbor is homesick for his old friend Plum, until Steve and friends suggest ideas to cheer him up. Viewers will learn coping skills in adjusting to a family move and making new friends. Ages 2 to 6. --Lynn Gibson

Summary: Periwinkle RULES!
Comment: This tape includes the first "Blue's Clues" episodes featuring Periwinkle the city kitten. First the mystery episode where Steve and Blue find out who built the fort and has a tail triangle ears, and little pawprints smaller than Blue. But the answer is the same kitten I'm Talking about. The second episode is about Periwinkle missing his purple pidgeon friend Plum and Steve figures out Blue's Clues to find out what Periwinkle Should do. Watch the Video and Find Out! I Love Periwinkle, too. HE RULES!!

Summary: Periwinkle is adorable
Comment: Ever since my son was 7 months old, the only thing on TV that would ever catch his attention was Blue's Clues. So, we prohibit TV viewing except for when Blue is on. When I first saw the Periwinkle episodes on TV, I instantly fell in love with him. My son is now 17-months old, and is increasing his vocabulary daily. The Periwinkle video helps introduce new words to him like "tractor", "bird", "leaf", "tree" and "bus". For Periwinkle to invite a friend (i.e. Blue) into a make-believe playhouse can teach children how to play well together. My son loves all of the Blue's videos, but this one is by far my favorite.

Summary: Introducing Periwinkle and Talking about Missing Friends
Comment: A lot is covered in this video! Blue and Steve meet a new neighbor, Periwinkle, by finding Clues. Then in the next story, they help new friend Periwinkle cope with missing a friend from the city.

My son is almost two and he adores Blue and Steve and all their friends. This video kept him interested. Of course, he is too young to understand about missing a friend, but he knows about meeting new friends.

Yeah for Steve and Blue! Keep up the good work!
