Liked the music, the puppets and the stories. One 3-year-old said, "Let's watch it again." Another said, "no." One child expressed her fears, saying, "I get scared when it's dark." Hard issues of fear of the dark is addressed in this program in a relaxed, run way. Kids enjoyed the music. "Yes, it has fun songs." Many wanted to watch it again. One group of kids watched it in all three languages.
Such a fabulous program. Addressed issues toddlers face such as haircuts, eating different kinds of food, being afraid of swimming in the water and naptime with great ingenuity and creativity. One juror said, "The best programming I've seen for toddler hood - has made me a convert. This is an Award Plus!" Structure, inventive style, addressing fears and concerns of the young child in an imaginative, enticing, engaging way where screen time for a young child is used wisely in presenting material for the child to learn and grow along with parent participation. Delightful character puppets explore the concerns of a young child in creative, diverse ways to encourage one to overcome her fears. The title rings true to the quote at the beginning of the program by Ralph Waldo Emerson - "He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life." Each situation is addressed with creativity, imagination and variety: from cutting one's hair, to eating broccoli and taking a nap. Music including both the original songs played by live orchestral musicians and standard known classical along with live action animation, inspire, educate and entertain. Available in English, Spanish and French.
From haircuts to the dark, Juno and the gang have worries that are as varied as their personalities. Through friendship and support, Juno and her friends cope with their various apprehensions.
