Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Peter Pan Returns

We are HUGE Jake fans in our house! My 18-month old daughter starts dancing whenever she hears Sharky and Bones start to sing! If you aren’t familiar with Jake and his crew – the show is very similar to Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer in the way that it really invites your child to participate in each episode.
