Kazoops!

Monty exudes youthful enthusiasm and curiosity at every turn, giving his adventures a larger-than-life quality that's enhanced by the show's use of music. All his imaginary trips in Kazoops! are inspired by ponderings that will sound familiar to parents and kids: "What if we ... ?," "Why couldn't we ... ?," "What would we see if ... ?," and on down the line. He follows each query with an instruction to Jimmy Jones to "just imagine!," which they do as their world dissolves into one where just about anything is possible. It's an appealing way to experience new things, and it should inspire kids to think beyond what they see around them, too.

Though Monty's family doesn't partake in his off-the-grid adventures, they do play a role in instigating them -- in particular his mother, who's a real go-getter when it comes to identifying what needs to be done and getting right to work, and his grandmother, who often chimes in with a thought or suggestion that gets the ball rolling. Though they're mostly background characters, their influence helps inspire Monty's make-believe, and they're often there to help him apply what he's learned to his real-life experiences.
