Editor's Note
The Learning Channel's animated children's series PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD uses a charming blend of wacky humor, adorable characters, and entertaining storylines to sneakily teach science to preschoolers ages 3-5. Narrated by actress Joan Cusack, the fun yet educational series follows the curious adventures of three young bird friends--newly-hatched chick Peep, clever robin Chirp, and conceited yet lovable duck Quack--as they explore their park home while learning scientific concepts such as shadows, gravity, mirrors, and more. The animated segments are then followed by live-action sequences in which real children implement the science being taught throughout the show. This volume features six fun-filled episodes: "Bridge the Gap," "The Watchamacallit," "Flipping Newton," "Shadow Play," "Go West Young Peep," "Peep Feet"; it also includes the bonus programs "Chirp Builds a Nest," and "Night Light."
