Peep and the Big Wide World

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".

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".

We all love "Peep!" My daughter got a "Peep" DVD set for her 2nd birthday two weeks ago, and we have literally been watching it ever since then. She loves it, and my Husband and I find the show very entertaining. The show is educational, of course, but has enough humor in it that everyone can enjoy it...it succeeds at entertaining all ages, a rare thing, indeed!

The simple animation and bright colors of "Peep" appeal to young children while the plots convey simple scientific principles that will enrich their minds. The animated segments are supplemented by real-life sequences which employ the scientific facts imparted in the cartoon. These live sequences will give children and parents some great ideas for trying out their own scientific experiments.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this program highly enough. As Quack might say, this is a fine specimen of television programming! Enjoy!

I stumbled across the show by mistake one morning. I saw how my grandson was so interested so I allowed him to view it. I noticed that my grand child could benefit from the show as it is educational. Then I started watching it and now, I love it. Especially, that Quack! He makes the show! He is refreshingly funny with sarcasm and arrogance. Peep is as innocent as she should be and Chirp seems to be the most practical of the three. I have recommended the show to other parents/grandparents and they are now in agreeance with me. I only wish we had more times to view. Thanks to you all for presenting us with such an enjoyable program.

Even as an 18-year old I absolutely adore this show. It's been one of the few things that stuck with me from my childhood. Whenever I just want to escape from the news or world events I simply watch this show. It's heart-warming, cute, and Quack is still absolutely hilarious. This show was a big part of my childhood and I still adore it to this day! Kids will love it.
