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.
my daughter who is 4 told me she saw this on TV one day with her dad. So I bought her the dvd. This show turned out to be too much for her. She got all stressed out and anxious everytime someone was in trouble. it really freaked her out because she cared so much. We ended up stopping the dvd
