"Fans of the PBS Wishbone series will recognize this this as Wishbone's Story of Robin Hood. It's great. I was hoping that Hiteentertainment.com was going to release more of Wishbone but I guess not. For Wishbone fans it's a must-have.

Great Children's Series
Andrew Raker | PA | 12/08/2007

"Paw Prints of Thieves is one of four Wishbone episodes released by HIT entertainment (as of December 2007). (The other three are: Hot Diggety Dawg, The Hunchdog of Notre Dame, and The Impawssible Dream.)
Paw Prints of Thieves tells a watered-down story of The Adventures of Robin Hood, in which Wishbone plays the character of Robin Hood. For the parallel story in Oakwood, Joe is faced with the dilemma of helping Ellie (the lunch lady) take food to the food bank, even though it is against Mr. Bison's (the school food director's) policy.
In short, the theme of the episode is - "Is it ever right to break bad rules for a good cause, even if it means you might get in trouble?"

Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves

"Wishbone is a jack russell who imagines himself as characters in different works of literature. In this story, he imagines himself as Robin Hood. This is a great series for children, because it teaches them about literature. It is also a great series for anyone who loves animals. This is one of my favorites, and I definitely think it's worth buying."
A classic children's tv show

"This is the classic story of Robin Hood told wishbone style. Wishbone is a dog who sees himself as the main character in a good number of classic stories. Stories such as: Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Three Musketeers, Oliver Twist and many others. This show delighted and enlightened me as a kid. What a great way to introduce kids to classic literature! They just don't make shows like this anymore. This is a show that both kids and parents can enjoy. I'm a fan, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Wishbone. I'm surprised that not many episodes have made it to DVD. I would like to see more Wishbone episodes on DVD. The only ones that I've seen so far are: Paw Prints of Thieves, Hot Diggity Dog and The Impawsible dream. What about Homer Sweet Homer, Hercules Unleashed, Frankenbone (Frankenstein), Mixed Breeds (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Slobbery Hound, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, etc? There are so many great episodes out there, and I know I'm not the only fan. Hopefully we'll see more Wishbone DVDs in the future."
Doggone fantastic!

"This is a great video series for children who are also interested in reading or who would like to explore books suggested by Wishbone. A fantastic gift also."
