Humor adds zest to these made-for-fourth-graders introductions to California history and geography. Skits, puns, and pratfalls join location footage and content that meets state standards as California Jones, our intrepid—but, let's face it, comically inept—explorer visits California's missions in one program and California's regions in the other. Along the way, onscreen pop quizzes remind viewers of what they should be learning. Color. Royal Highway.
