Babble Bop
What's the Story?
In BABBLE BOP, Lily, Hugo, Miguel, Izzie and Sam are toddlers and preschoolers who play together, dance to music, sing, and explore their yards. Their parents watch them play, while reading a newspaper, or tidying up. Some props -- like bee costumes and silly glasses -- are used to make songs more fun. Words often accompany the songs, exposing young viewers to written language.
Is It Any Good?
Music and words combine in this harmless musical show for the youngest viewers. Babble Bop isn't making waves, nor is it rocking boats. It's not as socially aware as Sesame Street, or as charming as Timmy Time, but it's engaging enough for kids who love music time. A good choice for a wee dance party on a rainy day, or snack time with friends, this show reflects a diverse array of preschoolers who get along well, and like to wiggle and groove to simple songs.
