Our four year old daughter, who is bi-lingual (Dutch and Mandarin Chinese), just loves the show. Last July we purchased the Chinese language versions when we were in China and she can't stop watching the DVD's (before she already watched the Dutch versions on local TV).Not only is she now improving on her Chinese but she is also learning English! (the Dutch and Chinese versions replace the Spanish text parts in the original show with English).Go Diego Go! is not only good the learn a little bit of another language, it also teaches the kids something interesting about animals! Regularly we also let her search Youtube to watch parts of other language version so she can get acquainted with more than a few languages.There should be more shows like this that are educational and have no violence in them!

Diego is very different than Dora. He doesn't voyage out to Strawberry Mountain but does good things for the environment. He cleans up landscapes and helps baby animals find where they belong. He wears proper attire and of course, Rescue Pack provides everything else.He is supposed to be a male Dora, but he does way more than Dora does. He talks about exotic animals that my two year old niece recites perfectly with him. Diego does deal with dangerous animals, but as he says "He is an animal rescuer" and had to work for his Animal Rescuer Patch, which is easily explained to children. Diego is fun and light hearted with catchy beats.

My daughter loves both Diego and Dora but she definitely prefers Diego. Although Diego is a spin off of Dora, the show is good and my daughter learned so much about animals. She is 3.5y-o and she knows a lot more than the children of her age. We watch the show in French - teaching English words - and my daughter loves it. With Dora, my daughter is getting a little bit fed up. I think she has seen it all and therefore prefers diego. However, I think both shows are important and involve the kids. I recommend Dora and Diego to all parents and children who do not want their children to be couch potatoes.I think that a show involving children both physically and mentally is a must see TV.

My 3 year old daughter never really gravitated to Dora, but they showed a Dora episode introducing Diego and she was hooked. She has learned a lot about other animals than the normal ones they teach in pre-school. She has learned about animals that my wife and I didn't even know existed. Because it is only on 2-3 times during the day, it can be on at the wrong times. Thank god for Tivo. She will watch the same one 2-3 times in a row before I have to convince her to watch another one. The secret is to record from Tivo to a DVD with a recordable DVD player. Saves a lot of money from buying the individual DVDs at $15-20 each. We all know that kids this age cycle through shows about every 2-3 months (except Clifford). That one has stood the test of time.
