kids ages 2-5 and maybe 6 will love this show!!!! it's age apropreat and full of giggles, laughs and FUN!

Hands down the best toon on TV for young ones. Has a wonderful calming effect on our kids. And the animals are all great role models - polite and kind to one another. And Duck is pretty damned funny. :-)

This show has become a staple in our house -- our twin two year olds would rather watch this show (and read the "Little Bear" books) than do almost anything else! The characters are well-developed for a children's series, it isn't dumbed-down for toddlers or preschoolers, and it has VERY positive messages. It's also slow-paced -- there's no frenetic, MTV-style editing here -- which is great for toddlers watching TV for the first time. Our girls didn't watch TV at all until after they turned two, so we've been very selective in what they've seen. I would recommend this just as highly as I would Sesame Street; it's that good.

I so adore little bear, as do my kids. It's really lovely, with gentle music and calm story lines. Perfect to pop on while relaxing for a few minutes before bed time(or any time you need a moment of calm!).

I stumbled across our first Little Bear video at the hospital when my son had just turned one, and he's loved it since (he's 3 now)! It's so simple, sweet, calm, fun and silly, inspiring friendly, loving, imaginative and adventurous ideas. I can't overstate how clean and feel-good wholesome the stories and interactions are between all the characters... and how gently simple(but not patronizing, empty, sappy or baby-ish)and subtle the "lessons" or examples are. Impressive. Charming. Sweet. Perfect. There are a very few episodes that have been scary for my son...Father Bear's encounter with the angry wind, a "monster" story around the camp fire, and a couple of others. I think it's fine for there to be some that are outside of our comfort zone...we'll grow into them.

This is probably my favorite of all the shows my daughter watches. It is soothing, morally enlightening, friendly, and entertaining. After every episode my daughter is in such a great mood, haha. Its almost like a secret weapon...

there are some perilous moments - like when Little Bear and Owl imagine they are fishing on the high seas and catch an enormous, ferocious whale with gigantic teeth who threatens to eat them (yikes!!!), and the episode with the dragon which sent my 2 and 4 year olds shreaking from the room. Little Bear is the first show my children have ever seen. We have avoided media 100% with them - until now, and Little Bear has been a great choice, but parents show preview each episode for frightening content. Otherwise, it is brilliant. I only mention this because I haven't seen anyone else say anything about it, and I wish I had had a warning. Don't hesitate to allow little ones to watch it, just get familiar with the content first.

My son has been watching this show since he was 2 (now just turned 4) and he still looks forward to it. Now my daughter who is almost 2 loves it as well. It is one of those gentle & quiet kind of shows that gets my kids in the settle down mode. There is absolutely nothing to worry about when they watch this show. If anything, it coaxed my son into learning all the names of the characters and made him ask questions. All good stuff for ages 2 to 4.

We all loved Little Bear but then there was an episode that was scary. A few weeks later, another and then another. I am really disappointed. In one, a goblin steals Emily's doll. I kept telling my 3 year old that it was pretend and at the end they show the goblin was really there :( Then there was the one where Dad is imagined as a monster followed by mom. I cut it off at the transformation, but it was too late :( Finally, there was the one about a monster in the bushes when camping. She watched that with Daddy and was upset when I got home. She kept asking what was in the bushes - scared but curious. So I played it, thinking that if we finished the episode it would help. It never actually said :( While I don't want my kid to be over-sensitive, and we tell her all the time that monsters are pretend, I still wish that Little Bear would scrap a few episodes!

Little Bear is a very wholesome cartoon for preschool aged children. My daughter loves it. She has learned about lots of different animals watching the show and it has a great family dynamic.

my kids love this show - the often request to watch it, and when they did (it was SUCH a change from dragon tales) I just was elated! The ONLY thing that bugs me is that why are little bear's parents in full dress, and little bear wears zilch... anyway, we love dora and diego, but little bear is tops!

Very cute stories about a group of good friends...but does talk a lot about monsters and goblins...although not in a way that is TOO scary.

This show is very laid-back and teaches kids how to be nice to each other and how to play together.

This show is filled with charming characters, lovely music, imagination. It's very calming. Maurice Sendak animation. Just beautiful!

Absolutely the cutest show for small children. Three short stories per episode, so there are no attention span problems. And you parents won't be bored either. I always found myself giggling along with my child.

Hello im 11 years and i know it might seem babyish but i love little bear hes so cute and i like how its relaxing and how nothing bad really happens there.i wish that real life was just like the show.i think little bear is perfectly fine for preschoolers and that parents should allow them to watch it.

This Show Is Great For Little Kids. I Watched It All The Time When I Was Little I Even Have A Little Bear Toy. I Was Sad When They Took it Off Nick JR. And I'm Glad They Still Play It On Noggin.

Much more calming than Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, Eek the Cat, Rocko, Power Rangers, AAAHH! Real Monsters, The Tick, Dexter's Lab, Angry Beavers, Johnny Bravo, Space Goofs, Cow & Chicken, PPG, CatDog, Pokemon, SpongeBob, Courage, Invader ZIM, Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, Grim & Evil, Aqua Teen, Kirby, Teenage Robot, Foster's, Atomic Betty, Puffy AmiYumi, One Piece, Zatch Bell, Robot Chicken, Juniper Lee, Catscratch, Lazlo, Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, 12oz. Mouse, Gym Partner, Kappa Mikey, Where My Dogs At?, Squirrel Boy, Wubbzy, Viva Pinata, Meteor & the Mighty Monster Trucks, and some others. This had to be the greatest cartoon (based on a book series) ever (along with Franklin, Arthur, Clifford, Magic School Bus, Miss Spider, Curious George, Maisy, and Kipper)! Like Little Bear, watch Franklin (it acts like it), and Franny's Feet (of course).

I used to watch this show all the time when I was younger, and I probably still would if I could figure out when they air it. It was always a nice, relaxing show, seemingly more intent on telling you a little story rather than cramming morals and ABCs down your throat like so many other programs did. I still remember what my favorite episode was-- one involving an applesauce-loving toad.
