Little Einsteins: A Galactic Goodnight - Synopsis
We all have trouble falling asleep now and then, especially kids! In "A Galactic Goodnight", Rocket can’t seem to fall asleep, and he doesn’t have a fall asleep trick like each of the Little Einsteins do. Sounds like a mission!
According to Annie, counting the planets in the solar system is a sure fire way to help Rocket drift off to dreamland. Set to the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s “Fur Elise,” Annie’s planet counting lullaby guides the team as they travel through space, where patterns and colors from Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream” are incorporated into the scenery.
Little Einsteins: A Galactic Goodnight - Guide Review
A classic Little Einsteins episode, "A Galactic Goodnight" provides children with a cosmic experience rich in art, music, and learning. “Fur Elise” becomes the perfect galactic lullaby for a storyline with learning on as many levels as the rings of Saturn. Lessons in counting, along with the typical Little Einsteins music and patting curriculum, are simple and direct for very young children. Through repetition and song, preschoolers will learn the names of the nine planets in our solar system. Even older children can pick up tidbits about Olympus Mons, the tallest mountain in the solar system, and the swirling winds of Jupiter. Whatever their age, kids will love helping Rocket fall asleep in this Little Einsteins galactic adventure.
