National Parenting Publications Awards 2010

Award-Winning DVDs

By Ranny Levy

This year, three KIDS FIRST! senior jurors worked closely with child jurors to winnow the best from a pool of excellent submissions. We saw an exponential up-tick in sophistication and use of computer-generated graphics and digital recording. The quality of content clearly reflects a commitment to create better programming that both teaches and inspires children.
