Reviews

[Riley Lewis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Love these series but you can tell they are loosing steam. Cobras and India was not the best, but my kids liked the St. Bernards, loved Abe Lincoln, and the Pandas. The second half of this group where they meet great people is cool. Alexander the Great, Houdini, Florence Nightengale and Pele were good plots. The weird mist that allows them to be great for an hour is odd, but not out of place for the series.
