'Kate and Mim-Mim: Balloon Buddies'
(DVD / NR / 2016 / PBS Kids)
Overview: Kate is making a balloon buddy for Mim-Mim and needs a big balloon. In Mimiloo, Kate, Mim-Mim and their friends find a balloon tree, but all its balloons are flat and droopy. They must find a way to re-inflate the balloons for the Big Balloon Parade, where Kate has a big surprise for Mim-Mim!
DVD Verdict: Kate and Mim-mim (any edition in this collection) is a must own. I like how Kate figures out a problem with her imaginary friends that lines up with a real world problem she's trying to solve, and it's believable the way it's presented. It's not overwhelming yet keeps their attention with slightly shorter stories. I like the positive messages like friendship, problem solving, working together, helping each other and asking for help. Ergo, 'Kate and Mim-Mim: Balloon Buddies' is yet another great addition to our collection - and it will be for yours too.

Kate is cleaning her room, but it's taking forever! In Mimiloo, the gang wants to have a picnic, but their picnic basket is lost in a messy sea of Tack's inventions.
