Sid the Science Kid: What is a Rainbow? by NCircle Entertainment

After a rainstorm, the sun comes out and Sid spots a big rainbow in the sky.  He races inside to tell his parents, but by the time he brings them outside to see it, the rainbow is gone.  Sid and his friends investigate rainbows at school where they discover that rainbows can only form when light passes through water droplets.

Why we like it: I enjoyed watching the main character Sid take on questions about basic scientific principles and see how he and his peeps solve problems and answer questions. The dancing and music are fun and suitable for the audience and the DVD’s menu allows you to select individual episodes and songs – a plus.
