Peep and the Big Wide World

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!!

Although I myself am way over the age of 3, with no children of my own, I feel that Peep and the Big Wide World is classic children's educational television. The lessons are intelligently woven into light-hearted comedic situations featuring Peep, Quack, and Chirp. The characters themselves are absolutely adorable and get into all sorts of trouble exploring the world around them. Quack is the quirky smart-alec, Peep is the "middle bird", and Chirp is the energetic, sometimes a little wild bird. Children and adults in general will all enjoy this show and perhaps may find themselves in characters in the "big wide world".

My daughter and I love to watch Peep together. It is so amusing, informative and well written. I am a little embarrassed to admit that I often find myself laughing out loud at the antics of Peep, Chirp and Quack. The narration by Joan Cusack is delightful. I am glad the opportunity to introduce my toddler to the wonderful talents of one of my favorite actresses.

The live action sequences dealing with science and nature have given us lots of ideas for fun outside play that keeps my daughter's interest.

The shows on Discovery Kids really are wonderful and Peep is a great addition.

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".

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.
