The series, geared toward 3 to 6 year-old children, is produced in "Shadowmation," a visually striking technique that combines computer generated animation, puppetry and animatronics to create a uniquely rich world of animal characters, exciting stories, and world music rhythms. Science and geography concepts are explored and reinforced through engaging stories and songs, tapping into a child's natural fascination with a world much bigger than his or her immediate surroundings. Educational advisors help to ensure that the content and program format are age-appropriate.
