Haven't seen it yet? Let's just say the heroine of this show, Bessie Higgenbottom, is my kind of girl: Loud, lovable, over-eager and hilariously over-the-top, all voiced with the perfect lisp by the ever-awesome Amy Poehler.
Unlike my two Girl Scouts who gather badges and sell cookies with a sort of que sera sera attitude, in her own "HoneyBee troop" Bessie is hyper-focused on becoming "The Mighty B!" which I take to be like the Grand Poobah with a cape and muscles. When the mean girls try to shun her, she continues to pursue them, undaunted, like an eager (super eager) puppy.
It's not an educational video -- just a series that's absolutely fun to watch whether you are six or a few decades above that. And, as a mom to two young girls, I am thrilled to see the awkward, awesome little girl get to play the hero. -Christina
