This show means well, apparently trying to get kids to read, but the only books ever read on the show are written especially for it, and precisely on-topic for whatever the kids are doing at the time. Thus it focuses far more on behavior modification than reading. The characters are the usual freakish big-headed anthropomorphic animals, including a duck with hair and a cow in overalls who vibrates whenever it's time to read the magically topic-specific book. I guess it does the trick, but there have been a couple hundred like it that do the same thing as well or better, Sesame Street for instance. The way this show is made, the books are more a catalyst than a focus, and that duck is just too creepy.
