My daughter doesn't ask for it but she will watch it when it's on. She is surprised to see all they do and she wonders why she can't go to her imaginery land. It's fun to explain it's all in her head but I think she is getting it. I don't care for it but the use proper english and there always seems to be a message.

Maggie - the perfect alternative to Dora
Maggie is a delightful show for toddlers. The title character is kind and adorable as are her lovable friends. Nearly a perfect show and one without the machine behind it, like Dora, that exists solely to sell us and our kids branded merchandise.
