Parents need to know that there's no content to worry about in this educational series, which exposes kids to music and a variety of instruments through interactive folk songs. The characters teach young viewers a brief part of each new song they introduce, and scenes of kids singing along encourage at-home watchers to do the same. Kids explore musical timing through body movements like clapping, stomping, and dancing.

It's cute but my kids no longer like it
My two boys, 2 1/2 & 5, really liked the show when it first came out, but no longer are excited by it. I liked the music and the live action, and cute storylines, particularly since the songs were the "old fashioned" family songs that I grew up with. They thought the dog was really funny and they liked the music, but the storylines wander a bit and I think that's why it's no longer a favorite. We DVR it, so the kids get to pick what they want to watch, and it's pretty consistently Word World and Zula Patrol, with the occasional Mickey Mouse Club, SuperWhy, or Sid the Science Kid. Since they only watch about 2 hours of TV a week, there's some competition for their attention!
