Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum

I can safely say that I'm a fan of the show and that the book translates well to television. This show demonstrates that despite all the awful things going on in the world, there is good, and that pretty much any kid can change the world by having the positive traits that the heroes on the show have.

Xavier, Yadina, and Brad are all likable, have character depth, and actually seem like real kids that you would meet. Xavier is the excitable one, Yadina is the cute, snarky little sister, and Brad is the perpetually nervous and neurotic one. He reminds of Pearl from Steven Universe and Sean from Ready Jet Go.

All the heroes on the show are ones to look up to. Harry Houdini was brave, Amelia Earhart went for it, Marie Curie followed her dream, Zora Neale Hurston was confident in sharing her stories, George Washington was a great leader, Helen Keller found a new way to speak, Johann Sebastian Bach practiced, and so on.

Let's talk about the animation and art style. The animation is fluid, and the effects used when the kids travel back in time are spectacular. The art style pays homage to the iconic Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts comic strips, and just about everyone looks adorable. Please give this show a chance, it's not a "dumb baby show" or a "ripoff", it's unique, original, educational and entertaining. Probably one of the best cartoons on PBS.

We love this book series. And I just started watching the series today with my 7 year old. We love it! The animation is adorable and true to the books. It's entertaining, but educational.

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.

The show is very informative and educational love it.

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.
