Reviews

Nicole Greene I have a 4 year old daughter that can't get enough of this show, and we really hope they keep producing more episodes. I love the questions asked by the kids and how the Storybots go about solving their scientific inquiries. Heck, even I learned a thing or two when I watched the "Why is the sky blue?" episode. They don't make it cheesy or dumb it down. They break it down into parts that are easily understood by toddlers and have great humor that is safe for kids of that age, but still funny to adults. The songs are great for this age group and short for their attention spans. My daughter gets up and dances to a lot of them. Just an overall wonderful show!

truedramaqueen This show is hilarious. When my son watches it, the whole family gathers to watch it with him... seriously! Everyone from our 3 year old to his grandparents love watching this show. The songs are well produced and catchy. The different styles of animation (including claymation, which I adore) are all very well done. As an author of non-fiction picture books, I'm super impressed with how the science is explained as well. It's clear, memorable, factual, and never talks down to the kids. It introduces new learning in a fun and approachable way. The guest stars are also a fun addition. Really, the whole show hits a home run. I only wish there were more episodes!

shawnapilot I have a 2 yr old and 4 year old and we are all addicted to this show. The songs are super catchy and we are all memorizing information about the Solar System, dinosaurs, principles of flight, bones in your body.. the list is long! I am a private pilot and I was really impressed with the way they display the forces of flight. Technically correct and broken down for kids to understand it. I really like Judy Greer and Weird Al Yankovic. And the guest stars are really varied and fun- "How Does Night Happen?" with Jay Leno "How Do Airplanes Fly?" with Kevin Smith "Why Do I Have To Brush My Teeth?" with Whoopi Goldberg "Why Is The Sky Blue?" with Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci of Garfunkel and Oates "Where Do French Fries Come From?" with 'Weird Al' Yankovic "Where Does Rain Come From?" with Tim Meadows and Chris Parnell I really hope that Netflix keeps making this show.

Rebecca We just found this and the kids love it. I liked the guest appearances (kind of a nod to the parents watching, as the kids have no clue who any of the actors are), and it was interesting for me as well as educational for them. Oddly enough, three of the episodes were questions my incredibly inquisitive 7 year old had asked me within the last week or so - night, airplanes, and the sky being blue; this explained so much better than I did! The song breaks are fun (Chicken Bop is a new household favorite, especially with the 5 year old!), the different animation styles and the mix of live-action and animation keep things interesting, the bonus fun facts throughout the episodes are great, and even the little filler bumps with Hub and Bub get laughs from the kids. The way complex concepts are explained through exploration and investigation and then further reinforced with a song is fantastic. This is one show I definitely don't mind my kids watching because they learn so much while enjoying something that's still fun and silly (but not so horribly annoying that I can't stand being in the room with it). I hope they make more episodes!
