What Parents Need to Know
About Toot & Puddle: I'll Be Home for Christmas
Parents need to know that this beautifully animated holiday movie is based on a book by the same name from acclaimed artist Holly Hobbie. All of the characters are animals (the two main ones being pigs), and through the worldly travels of one, viewers meet a multi-cultural cast that reflects the lands of their heritage through food, dress, language, and music (like Toot's Scottish uncle who wears a kilt and plays the bagpipes). The pleasant animation enhancing this feel-good story is sure to garner smiles from kids and their parents, who can rest assured that their little ones are also absorbing themes of friendship, dependability, teamwork, and ingenuity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about being friendly and helpful. Why is it important to be a good friend? What does that mean? In what ways do you help others throughout each day? How do Toot and Puddle show that they care about each other? How do they both work hard to keep their promises to each other? Families can also discuss cultural differences. How do Toot's family members in Scotland dress and speak differently than he does? What are other examples of different cultures?

Great entertainment for everyone!
Toot and Puddle books are among the most beautifully, charmingly illustrated picture books out there. I've often thought about how wonderful the illustrations would be framed in my 3 year old's room. This movie is based on the books and done by National Geographic, and has the kind of beauty and quality you'd expect from the books and National Geographic. Toot is a traveler, Puddle is a homebody and they make great friends and roomies. When Toot's Great Aunt turns 100, he wants to travel to Scotland and promises Puddle he'll be home in time for their Christmas traditions. Toot's adventures abroad and Puddles at home, and Toot's overcoming obstacles to keep his promise make for a wonderful story, and the animation is beautiful and charming. I wish there were many more of these films produced. I'd buy them all. And this movie and one of the books would make a wonderful gift.
