Pequenos Planetas

This program is beautifully animated and subtly addictive. I started tivoing the program on Noggin for my five year old, but soon found the whole family regularly gathering around the DVR to watch the antics of the show's heroes Bing and Bong. Not only are the characters lovable and the animation rich and complex, but each of the four or so "missions" packed in every episode has an educational theme as well. Our child can't get enough of this show.

There are many many episodes "in the can" - I've been watching daily for weeks and we've never seen the same one twice. I'm very surprised this British-American project with Sesame Street's producer isn't better known among educators and parents in the states.

Now if I could only find a Bong t-shirt!
