What Parents Need to Know

About Shanna's Show

Parents need to know that although this is a fun little series of interstitials, since each episode is only five minutes long, it's not the kind of show that kids will get attached to. When kids do watch, they'll learn a lot about many different professions courtesy of the enthusiastic heroine.

    Very cute!

    My daughter (4) loves this short show! It comes on between her favorite tv shows. It has rhyming and teaches about occupations through a guessing game.
