Why We Rated This on for Ages 2 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Teletubbies are very gentle and loving, and there are lots of hugs on the album (they actually stop a couple of times and all say "HUGS!" in unison). They do interrupt each other a lot, but it's all in good fun.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    There's some controversy about the "dumbed down" baby talk of the characters.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Nursery Rhymes and Other Fun Songs!

Parents need to know that this CD is a re-release of a 1997 album, in honor of the Teletubbies' 10th birthday. The format of the album is "musical storytelling" instead of traditional songs, so while it's possible to sing along with parts of it, most of it veers off into wacky tangents that are classic Teletubby territory. For those familiar with the characters, this CD holds few surprises, but the trademark quartet ham it up during and between the songs' sparkly and bright sound.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about some of the stories told on this CD. And it can be used as background music while older toddlers and young kids play by themselves. Parents can also participate by following the CD's lead into sublime goofiness. You can pantomime the sounds and act out "Jack and Jill," "Humpty Dumpty," and "Little Miss Muffet."
