Who is Bing?

I watched Bing one morning with my grandson we liked it very much. 

Bing is a new animated children’s series that is being shown on CBeebies. 

The writer and creator is Ted Dewan.

                                                 

With colorful animation, and beautifully told stories it’s a wonderful children’s programme.

The stories are based on a young rabbit called Bing who likes to do things his own way; sometimes learning new things is very hard.

Flop his playmate is very gentle and caring, he is always there to guide and encourage Bing by giving words of wisdom. What a wise Flop!

My opinion is that this is an excellent children’s programme, the story lines are really good and the animation is fantastic.

This is a lovely children’s programme that shows friendship, sharing and playing together.

I would definitely recommend this programme as it’s very educational and shows great wisdom.

As an adult I think that parents and adults would benefit from watching Flop, his reasoning, understanding, respect and teaching methods are great.

My final thought: this is one of the best children’s series I have seen on CBeebies at present.

Is Big Barn Farm Real?

The other morning Big Barn Farm was shown on CBeebies, it's narrated by Ben Fairman in series 1 and Dave Lamb in series 2.

It’s a children’s television series with a catchy theme tune which features live animals on a farm.
The combination of animation with live animals to create the talking farm animal is really great.

                                                 

The stories are based on four main animals; Digger the puppy, Petal the pig, Dash the donkey and Gobo the goat. The story lines suit eat animal, its fun, exciting, full of mischief and enjoyable to watch.

My favourite animal is a greedy goat called Gobo. He is always hungry.
A funny episode is when he spots food and tries to find a way of eating it without being seen, he’s a master of disguise!

My grandson smiles and gets excited when Dash the Donkey gets shown. Dash even makes me smile with his depressed monotone voice.

I would definitely recommend watching Big Barn Farm as it’s great for children and adults.

In my opinion it is very educational, great for children to see and learn where farm animals live, eat and get up too!

My final thought:  young children now think that farm animals can talk, I know they can in animal language but you try telling that to a two year old?

Can a toddler understand Baby Jake?

I watched Baby Jake with my grandson, one morning.

Baby Jake is a children’s animated series shown on CBeebies.
Maddy Darrall is the creator and producer of Baby Jake for production company Dallall Macqueen, with animation through JAM Media.
                                     
The main character is Baby Jake he has a real baby face added to an animated body.

The adventure storylines are based on Baby Jakes imagination and are voiced by his brother Isaac in the series.

As an adult I found Baby Jake to be a colorful fantasy for tiny tots, narrated by a child the language was unknown to me – baby language?

Is this something I should learn, in order to communicate with my grandson.

I wondered as I watched him mesmerized by the series, sitting focused watching Baby Jake jump around the screen on one of his adventures.

Maybe my grandson can understand the baby language, where I as an adult cannot?

I would recommend the series for children under two years of age, as they seem to adore it.

My final thought: we need a book on baby language to fully understand those little noises babies and toddlers make? 

If you have one then let me know.

Invasion of the Little Robots?

I watched Little Robots with my grandson the other morning on CBeebies, after a few minutes as usual he was off playing leaving me to watch it alone.

The theme tune is really catchy it got me hooked. The children’s programme was actually very entertaining and I'm and adult.

Little Robots is a stop-motion animation, produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Create TV and Film Limited.

The series is based on the book by Mike Brownlow and published by Ragged Bears Publishing.

                                                       

The animation and stories are great, the idea to use metal works and create a wonderful series out of rubbish, sorry I mean scrap metal is quite genius.

The main character is called Tiny voiced by Hayley Carmichael, he repaired himself and his friends who live around a nut and bolt tree. Tiny uses a lever to turn night into day.

The stories are based in a very tidy and clean scrap heap, I mean scrap yard, sorry I mean junkyard.

All the characters are great, with actor voices being use, Lenny Henry and Su Pollard are just two of the well known voices that can be heard in the series.

My favourite robot character has to be Scary the bat voiced by Mike Hayley.

Scary makes me laugh when he tries to scare his friends he usually fails because his voice isn’t frightening enough.

I would definitely recommend this programme, ideal for both children and adults to watch.

My final thought: it’s a great children’s series, funny, witty and it has great animation.

However the question still remains, is Scary the Bat scary enough?

Would you go on a Bear Hunt?

I read the book, “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt,” and watched the story being performed by Michael Rosen on YouTube.

The illustrations were created by Helen Oxenbury.      
                                               

This is a story about a young father and his children who go on a bear hunt.

It’s a wonderful story with lots of adventures along the way, with great illustrations.

I wondered what they were going to do when they found a bear, talk to it, or keep it as a pet.

I definitely wouldn’t want to meet a bear face to face I could be its dinner!

With that said, the book is definitely worth reading, or if you prefer watch the story being performed by Michael Rosen on YouTube and sing a long to it. 

My final thought: I wouldn't recommend you take your children on a bear hunt, unless it’s to find a costumed character like Yogi Bear!
