Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum

The kids in the show learn relevant life lessons from people in history and what contributions that person made. Diverse main characters, includes POC in the "greats " of history.

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.

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.

The show is a fantastic alternative to mind-numbing cartoons. My 4 year old is learning about historical figures while being entertained. Always a plus!

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?
