Absolutely Precious

Higglytown Heroes is precious and sweet. I was so thrilled to see this show added to online streaming. The storylines are fun and engaging and a great way to introduce young children to community helpers. This is one of very few television shows that I feel comfortable letting my child watch.

Great messages
Great role models

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (8 ):
Kids say (11 ):

Preschoolers will enjoy the colorful visuals and characters of Higglytown Heroes. Parents can appreciate that the show has positive role models and messages. Characters have real-life qualities and situations -- for example, Wayne and Twinkle are of color and appear to have a single mother. Eubie is being raised by his Aunt Millie and Uncle Zooter. The message? There are all different makeups of loving, happy families.

For younger preschoolers, it is a wonderful show to celebrate everyday people and what they do to make giant contributions to their world. It helps kids learn to face their problems, work with a team, and know that it's okay to ask for help.
