Pinky Dinky Doo

I have to admit, when I first saw the ads for this new show I thought it was just another stupid kiddie show. My 5 year old daughter started watching it and it quickly became one of her favorites.

Pinky Dinky-Doo is a young girl who makes up stories to entertain and help her little brother. Pinky's stories are sometimes a little "out there" but whenever she talks about something that is impossible in reality she always clarifies it by reminding us that she is telling a made up story. In each story Pinky is confronted with a minor problem which causes her to "think big" to figure out the solution.

The animation isn't that great , but the stories are cute and a different, often complex, vocabulary word is used throughout each show. My daughter has a speech disorder and does not speak as well as the average 5 year old, but she now understands the meaning of such words as scrumptious, predicament, agenda, and voracious. Despite her speech problems, I am willing to bet that she will have the best vocabulary of anyone in her kindergarten class this fall.
