What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that personal and social themes like self-esteem, friendship, responsibility, and honesty are the foundation for this very sweet series for preschoolers. In each story, the colorful characters must work through a new trouble of some kind (solving a mystery or taking responsibility for a troublesome pet, for instance), and their willingness to work together and meet challenges has great messages for this impressionable target audience. The show is part of a marketing franchise that includes toys, books, videos, and just about everything in between, so don't be surprised if your kids take a liking to these products after watching.
