my 4 year old loves it!
It promotes helping out friends and family. I like that it protrays all different ethnic backgrounds and that everyone can be friends, but sometimes they do it to the extreme.

The tools talking are a cute idea but don't like the spanish with it. They speak the spanish and don't always tell you what it means in english.

Entertaining and wholesome
I sit with my preschooler and watch this show. I love the multiculturalism, and the Latin culture is very accurately portrayed. I grew up on an island where we received cable from Venezuela, all this for 19 years. I like how Manny is very helpful, soft-spoken, kind and patient. A great role model for a man.

Great Problem Solving
Each show features a problem that Manny and his tools need to solve. We go through the process with them, step by step, to understand how they come to their solution. The show is well balanced racially, and for gender. Having two girls, I am sensitive to shows that put women into roles that are not considered "traditional", and this show fits the bill. Women are in roles of power and intelligence. We enjoy this show immensely, and I recommend it to all of the parents of toddlers and preschoolers that I know. I dare you to watch for a week without singing along with the them song by Friday. ;)

GREAT for little kids.
Handy Manny is great for little kids. He teaches the values of team work, sharing, cooperation and helping others. Handy Manny teaches kids new words in Spanish and has a valuble message at the end of every episode. Unlike Dora, the show won't have your kid repeating annoying phrases all day, but it will have them sharing, helping out and so on. So, this is a PERFECT show for your kid.

An awesome - multicultural show!
This is one of the best shows out there that teaches kids that everyone is the same regardless of ethnicity. It also teaches great values like cooperation and giving back to the community. Great job Disney! My son loves this show!
