Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum

Good way to introduce kids to historical figures. They totally copied Superbook and honestly, Superbook is WAY better. But this is cute. It's very basic though and not as detailed as Superbook so you don't really learn a whole lot. You basically just learn who the person is and if you want to know more, you'd have to do your own research. The orb is like Superbook. Brad is like Gizmo the comic relief and scare-dy cat. And Xavier and his sister are like Chris and Joy. The new Superbook is 3D animation. XRSM is more cute. They need to have more Asian American historical characters like Wong Kim Ark and Dr. Mabel Lee. These are key Americans that fought for rights for all Americans.

My son loves the show. It's a fun way to learn about history. The animation is cute and it's cool how they relate the problem to a time in history.

My daughter (4), loves the Ordinary People Change the World books, and she loves this show!! They're pretty brief, but she's already asking me more about the historical figures, and they easily hold her attention the entire time. She would probably watch all the episodes that dropped, that's just too much tv.

LOVE this show and hope it gets more seasons and episodes soon!

It's informative without holding your hand and talking down to you The characters are all loveable, their friendship with each other simply adorable The way they describe these events are easy to understand and effective without going into the too unsettling details that should be taught when the child watching this is much older. I say this, but even adults can enjoy the show such as myself it's quite entertaining and interesting, it taught me about significant people from the past I didn't even know about prior to watching It really made me enjoy history for the first time which isn't a topic I'm strong in.

I'd seen various books in this show's style but never got around to reading them until after the show premiered. The style is reminiscent of Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes but in some ways I like Xavier Riddle more than both of those combined. At least nobody is putting everyone down or bossing around the weaker ones like in those two aforementioned strips. Still, I like the lessons that Xavier Riddle and his little friends impart on their viewers and how they meet various folks from ancient history. It's a sweet combination and it's got time travel and comedy too. As of about a year or so ago, this is my new-favorite PBS show. I will watch more and I am ready for adventure. Won't you be?
