What the Show Is About
The series follows a friendly bug named Lingo. He is the host of a special "Big Bug Show." Lingo has a family of bugs, and each one knows a different language.
Kids ask Lingo to put on a show. So, he travels around the world with one of his bug performers. In each episode, the chosen bug searches for items needed for their show. They teach the audience the names of these items in their language. After finding everything, they bring the props back to Lingo. Then, they perform the "Big Bug Show" for happy children.
