Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Sagwa, based on Amy Tan's book, is about a Siamese cat and is set in China during the 18th century. Sagwa, her parents, her brother, and her sisters are expert calligraphers who serve the magistrate, but still find plenty of time for fun and adventure. In "Explorer's Club," Sagwa's brother Dongwa belongs to a Gamester's club that refuses to include Sagwa in its membership. Sagwa forms her own Explorer's club and excludes Dongwa, but a perilous situation soon necessitates that the rivals work together. In "Treasure Hunters," teamwork and quick thinking yield rich results, and in "Sick Day," Sagwa and Dongwa discover the joy of imagination and storytelling while the rest of the palace learns the power of cooperation. Brief interviews with children from around the world punctuate the episodes, offering a glimpse of a variety of cultures. Sagwa is a wholesome, entertaining series from PBS that encourages curiosity, cooperation, and an appreciation of different cultures. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Not the best of the Sagwa episodes (2003-01-25)

My 5 year old and two year old watch only a little TV. Sagwa is one of their favorites, but "Explorer's Club" is one of the most anxiety-producing episodes to them. At 5, my daughter can talk herself through it, but it has given her nightmares. My two year old can't watch it. "Too scary," she says.
