What the Show is About
The show follows three main puppet friends: Babu, Bruce, and Rhonda. They explore many common feelings and problems that young kids face. For example, they learn about wanting to win, feeling silly, or knowing when something is "too much."
As the story for the day unfolds, the show sometimes pauses. During these breaks, real preschoolers appear on screen. They suggest ideas for what the puppet characters should do next. Often, the puppets will even react to the advice they get from the kids!
