At first I was a bit turned off by the slow-motion computer-animated look of this show, but the content was pretty good. I like that Sid's friends are all unique. One child seems a bit precocious, one seems a bit dreamy, and a third has characteristics of children with ADHD. All are taken seriously and respected, and I like that message. Content is very interesting for my 5-year old!

Great for 4+!
I think that for 2 year olds like mine, they might not understand it. But for ages 4+ it is great! I just wish that they would make an educational show on PBS Kids for 2 year olds.

Answers to many of kids' common questions
Of all of the shows my 3-year-old watches, this one has spawned the most discussion, I think because it addresses his curiosity about so many everyday things. It's gotten him interested in brushing his teeth, in cooking pancakes, and in melting popsicles. I think he's really learning a lot, and it's one of the only shows we watch that addresses science topics, rather than language.

Well...
I do not like this show at all. The characters are very poorly decorated(I guess that's the word). Other people may like this show, but I hate it. The people creep me out.
