Elinor Wonders Why

Quite a lovely show, I grew up on pbs kids shows and I have to say, now an adult, 26 year's old. This is one if not the best show on the station you can watch. After years of living in this current world as an adult, filled with not so family friendly content everywhere...I had to call back my eyes to what i was sinking in to my mind, I randomly stumbled back on this station. Looking for Nostalgia I was looking for something to take me back, a show like "Arthur" or "Zaboomafoom" I browsed over the cute cover art of this show and watched the first preview episode. Needless to say, I was instantly captivated by the end of it! The show teaches not just kid's but adults the natrual curiosity of children and the patience and love true parent's, teacher's, eveyday working men and women should have for such children. There's no evil in the show; simply innocence of learning or in some cases re-learning what the curiosity of the child-like mind really is like, that is it's pure and aware of the vast world around them. I love the adorable characters (Elinor being my favorite) and how her parent's are so loving and caring and patient with her curious child. Her two friends are not side characters at all but also very important aspects to the show as they're always included showing how important having friendships and continually building off them is. I don't have any children yet, but I'll end by saying im glad i stumbled upon this show. I hope my child is like the children in this show and I as caring as the parent's one day. It's time for an observation of myself! ( I made an account on here just to write a review of this beautiful show). For viewer's like you, Thank you!

I've long wished that Daniel and Jorge would do something for kids and they have! My 4 year old loves it, I love the art style and the fact I know it's something safe that he can watch and learn to question to world around him as well.

I really like it because of Elinor, Ari, and Olive's great adventures.

I saw the premiere yesterday and I liked it a lot. The overall aesthetic of this show is very pleasing. The backgrounds are gorgeous and look like they were hand-painted (just like the backgrounds in Harvey Beaks). The character designs are adorable and look like they came out of a children's picture book. The music, such as the theme song, is very calming. Not to mention the adorable voice acting, especially Markeda McKay as Elinor.

The show does a great job of explaining to young children how nature works and basic science concepts like observation. It's not the most clever show around, but this is for young children, not for the same audience as Arthur or WordGirl. Despite being for young kids, the show doesn't talk down to kids and instead talks to them on their level.

My only complaint is that our leads, Elinor, Ari, and Olive, all have the same personality. I guess Elinor is the leader, Olive is the smart one, and Ari is the funny one? I don't know. Hopefully they will be more rounded as the episodes progress.

An amazing kids show. I have never before seen a kids show directed in teaching truly important things in such a positive manner, and the lessons are almost hidden in how normal they are treated. For example, one episode was all about how everybody is good at different things, and it's okay to not be good at some things. But it went the extra step by adding that even if you aren't good at one aspect of something, you can still be good at a certain part of it, so you shouldn't give up on the whole of it just because you aren't good at the rest of it - there is always a place for you because of that. It's genuinely a lesson I'm sure most adults haven't learned yet. It's got a very slow but natural pacing, and there are unique songs in I think every episode (not sure, wasn't exactly paying full attention all the time). It's an absolutely incredible show to introduce to your children, I highly suggest it. I would love to see more in the works.
