“The Adventures of Walker and Ping Ping: The Great Wall”, is the first episode in this series. Although the cartoon is basic in its drawing, the incredible amount of information captures your attention right from the start. This DVD provides a wonderful introduction to the country of China with a concentration on its geography. Walker meets Ping Ping in this episode and their adventures begin as they take a magical trip to the Great Wall of China. A bit of the Chinese belief system is revealed as an enchanted flute is used as well as the shaking of chopsticks to reveal fortunes. Not only is this DVD fact filled, it immediately begins to teach the Chinese language. Basic words and phrases are repeated and written out in both Chinese characters and the English alphabet. A fabulous teaching tool and a wonderful DVD, Dove happily awards “The Adventures of Walker and Ping Ping: The Great Wall” the “Dove Family-Approved Seal”.
