A
Cartoons Kids Should Be Watching
Max and Ruby
Max and Ruby! As my 5yearold daughter put it, “It's a nice little show about bunnies(兔子)．” Each 30minute episode centers on Max, a determined threeyearold bunny, and his big sister, Ruby, a smart, goaloriented sevenyearold bunny. Max and Ruby play together and resolve their differences respectfully. Great for dealing with sibling rivalry(手足之争)．
Olivia
“Olivia is designed to invite preschoolers into the life—both real and fantasy—of an adventurous, cando(乐观进取的) 6yearold girl, her family and friends.” Olivia is somewhat unrealistic in the sense that no matter how much trouble she creates for herself, she never seems to have to deal with punishment. However, it's an exciting show that plays out in a calm way, and for that reason alone, I'm fine with my daughter's love for it.
Word World
In Word World, words come alive! It's not just the animal characters that are made of the letters that spell their names—all of the items in Word World are.This show is done so well and is so creative, you can't help but fall in love with it.The characters are all voiced brilliantly.
Sid the Science Kid
Sid the Science Kid is not only filled with great songs that teach kids about things like dirt and worms, the sun as energy source, and more, but it also has a section called “Good Laughternoon” during which your kid will learn jokes like, “What kind of tree fits in your hand? A palm tree！” I have no complaints about the show.Another very educational show that knocks it out of the park. Go public broadcasting!
