IT'S A BIG BIG WORLD: THE BIG SLEEP

Loved it - especially the music. Some danced along with the kids on screen. It was a bit long to take in one stretch and doesn't break easily into sections. There was a lot of wandering off and some fussing. The "I can do it" message comes through loud and clear and resonates with the kids.

Excellent show with winning characters that children and adults both enjoy. It teaches important life lessons such as: children who can't sleep, the first big sleepover, dealing with feats and dealing with scary sounds. With the right kid, this can be a great learning tool. It also encourages kids to seek out more facts in books and creates interest in things such as nature and ecology and the rain forest. Offers good talking points for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Great puppet characters who are diverse (representing the diverse world of humans) and all get along quite well together. Excellent quality. Very crisp and bright.

Created by Emmy�-winner Mitchell Kriegman, set in a lush rainforest lives Snook, a giant dancing sloth in the World Tree with his diverse group of animal friends. Together they investigate the world around them and learn about science, nature, and environmental stewardship. Includes: "The Big Big Sleep" where the characters of the World Tree get their rest. "Go to Sleep Wartz" where everyone wants to play all the time and never sleep again. "Sleepover: When Wartz: - Where Snook explains what causes lightning and thunder and addresses why they frighten us. "Sounds of the Forest" Where jungle noises are frightening enough to keep you from sleeping until you find out where they come from. Hot Enough For You?: There is no breeze in the hot World Tree and Winslow hypothesizes that if he can find out who in the tree is cool, he will know who has taken the missing breeze. He goes to visit the other animals, learning how everyone handles the heat, but he can't find the breeze thief anywhere. Finally, Snook explains that if there isn't air moving from one place to another as part of the weather, there isn't any wind to make a breeze. But there is something they can do to beat the heat - take a nap! Sloth Lessons: After Winslow tells Bob that he should try being more carefree, Bob decides that since Snook is the most laid back animal he knows, he is going to become Bob the sloth. But, after spending some time with Snook eating, moving, and sleeping like a sloth, Bob realizes that he isn't made to be a sloth, and there are some really neat things about being an anteater.
