What's the Story?
IN THE NOOK is a mini-talk show created by Disney Channel. Various young Disney Channel stars host the series and present crafting ideas for kids of all ages. In other segments of the series, hosts talk about the latest episodes of some of their favorite Disney Channel series. Other popular Disney Channel stars appear as guests occasionally, but guests are more often young kids from around the nation who are being recognized for making a difference in their communities. Episodes often air between commercial breaks on Disney Channel and can also be found on YouTube.
Is It Any Good?
This fun mini-talk show has charming hosts, lighthearted topics, and a lot of bad puns. Hosts and guests of the show record themselves remotely over what seems to be a video call. The lack of interaction and occasional lagging video signal can make for some awkward moments, but doesn't take away from some of the positive messages. Younger kids may enjoy some of the Disney-inspired crafting projects.
