Based on stories by author Constance W. McGeorge and illustrator Mary Whyte, this iconographic-animated program features a trio of tales that follow an amiable Golden Retriever named Boomer – “Boomer Goes To School”, “ Boomer’s Big Day” and “Boomer’s Surprise”. Nicely correlated to issues that the target audience (ages 2 and up) might also experience (first day at school, moving, and a new sibling), Boomer’s Great Adventures is warmly recommended.

“Constance W. McGeorge’s loveable golden retriever is featured in three adventures that teach him and viewers some important life lessons…about sharing…beginning to feel at home (after moving to a new place)…and discovering that Baby can be a new playmate and maybe even a new friend. Mary Whyte’s soft watercolor illustrations are complemented perfectly by narrator Scott James Hybl’s gentle tone that gives credence to Boomer’s anxiety and confusion. These reassuring tales will satisfy young children.”
