About Wonder Pets: Save the Wonder Pets

Parents need to know that this cheerful, engaging special based on the popular Wonder Pets show on Nick Jr. teaches young kids about teamwork in a catchy operetta format.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the Wonder Pets work together to save their animal friends. What did each friend contribute to the rescue?
  • Parents can also talk about the pets that children may have in their preschool classrooms or at home. If these animals had superpowers, what do you think they would be? If they could sing, what do you think they would sound like?
  • What did Linny, Tuck, and Ming-Ming find out when they worried that the animals they had saved in the past might forget them?

    Wonderful show for toddlers

    My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES this show, and I think it's just perfect for him. the little animals have about the mentality of a 3 year old, but they go on fun adventures to save "baby animals" - it's just at the level that my kid really gets whats going on. We really only let him watch this show, Jack's Big Music Show, and one or two others.. because most of the others go right over his head... but he really gets this show and can describe most of what happens in an episode.

    I like this...

    I found out about this show last year and it's got alot of things kids like in it. It has a message at the end of every show, and through out all the epidoes, theres a message about team work, and the cute charecters make getting the message fun. Theres Ling-Ling the duck, Tuck the turtle and Lenny the guinea pig! Their cute!

    Kinda Cute

    I thought that this was kinda cute. My 4 yr old son loves it. He will tell me that we need to use teamwork when he wants to help me now. I think the singing is wonderful it helps make the message stick. I especially love when Ming Ming says "This is serious" which she says in every episode, it is just a cute show all around.
