Yo Awesome Awesome!

I've watched Yo Awesome Awesome! on VHS with my family when I was 5. At first, I thought the show was strange and I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to watch it. However, now that I've seen it a few times, I feel that it's completely appropriate and it's message is simply not delivered traditionally. However, there's nothing wrong with thinking outside of the box and I like that it's different from other shows.

The show teaches simple life lessons like saying "please" and "thank you" and trying new foods "try it -- you'll like it" to children in a colorful, happy, musical format. It is an imaginative program and focuses on real-live kids who are excited and behave as though they are learning along at a preschoolers' level. It's fun to watch for kids and adults.

Another amazing thing about the show is that it features adults and children of many different races and ethnicities playing together happily. This is important especially for young children who may not frequently see people of different skin tones or prominent features to understand that people are different in many ways, but that doesn't mean that we can't all be friends.

Yo Awesome Awesome -- along with fellow NBeebies show "The Cool Music Band" -- also introduces children to different types of music, including hip-hop. Strong beats can be fun for children to learn rhythm and counting.
