Peep and the Big Wide World

Of the little TV I'll indulge my daughter in, this is probably our favourite. In fact, if I turn the TV on, she often asks for this show specifically.

My daughter is three and there is no shortage of crap television aimed at teaching her morality and safe play and etc etc (yawn.) Note to children's programmers: Don't teach my kids this stuff. That's my job. Your job is to entertain us.

And Peep does just that. Like a young child Peep is naive and every show is about her finding something banal (like snow or sand) for the very first time and showing us all how fascinating it can be.

What more can I ask for my three year old? This show is AWESOME.

Peep is my daughter's favorite show, hands down. She is now 3 1/2 and has been watching it for over a year. It is the first show she asks for in the morning and the first one she wants after nap/rest time.

Her dad and I have seen every episode that has played on TLC (more than twenty times each), and we keep at least 10 or so on TIVO. We often find ourselves quoting Quack lines throughout the day.

We even used craft clay to make (and bake) our own Peep, Chirp, and Quack. Now she's asking if we can make the rest (Newton, the Ants, Squeak, Madame Hoot, etc.) It is a wonderful program, and we cannot wait to see new episodes!

Oh, and today she has asked me for some string, tape, a straw and two empty plastic bottles to make her own "experiment".

We all love "Peep!" My daughter got a "Peep" DVD set for her 2nd birthday two weeks ago, and we have literally been watching it ever since then. She loves it, and my Husband and I find the show very entertaining. The show is educational, of course, but has enough humor in it that everyone can enjoy it...it succeeds at entertaining all ages, a rare thing, indeed!

The simple animation and bright colors of "Peep" appeal to young children while the plots convey simple scientific principles that will enrich their minds. The animated segments are supplemented by real-life sequences which employ the scientific facts imparted in the cartoon. These live sequences will give children and parents some great ideas for trying out their own scientific experiments.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this program highly enough. As Quack might say, this is a fine specimen of television programming! Enjoy!

Nothing is better than a duck! Nothing is smarter than a duck! WE LOVE QUACK! My two-year old and I love to watch Peep and the Big Wide world. It's actually on as I'm writing this. The animation is simple and adorable. And who has ever seen a blue (purple) duck like Quack before? He is hilarious. Joan Cusack is the best narrator possible for this show. I love her anyways, but to have her humorous voice in a child's show has made my month! IT'S GREAT! We wish the videos were available to purchase in the UK, though, so we can watch whenever we feel like it...Three times a day just isn't enough some days. Besides, my husband still hasn't seen it yet because of work and I keep telling him about it.

PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD is fun and stimulating for children and adults alike. Watch the crazy antics of this trio and you're sure to have a laugh with your child.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY TODDLER, YOUNG CHILD, OR GENERAL CARTOON LOVER!!

I love this show. It is very colorful with simplified characters which is easier for kids to perceive. By far the best and most recognizable things about Peep and the Big Wide World is the amazing music and the voice acting. Joan Cusack has a lovely voice and narrates perfectly and along with her, Jamie Watson who does the voice for Quack is OUTSTANDING. He gives so much personality to this sassy little duck and it fits perfectly. The voices for chirp and peep and the others are also great for their roles and the adventures they all go through are fun to watch and I like the real life anecdotes and experiments as well.
