Details

Children are engaged by a diverse group of animal characters, exciting stories, and world music rhythms, while a multi-level, age-appropriate science and geography curriculum taps into their natural fascination with a world much bigger than their immediate surroundings. From award-winning television series creator Mitchell Kriegman ("Bear in the Big Blue House," "Clarissa Explains It All"), the series is produced in "Shadowmation," a visually striking technique that combines puppetry, animatronics, and computer generated animation to create a uniquely rich world of characters and environments.
