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.
