TURBO
DOGS is an animated show based on the books (Racer Dogs) by Bob Kolar.
The series follows a group of six dogs from Racerville who love to
compete with one another in races. In each story, one or more of the
dogs encounter and solve problems that teach them social-emotional
lessons on good sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation, playing fair, and
friendship. The show also imparts information on the mechanics of
racing like directionality and the concepts of distance and time. The
social-emotional messages are embedded through the stories using action
and humor. The tags at the end of each episode reiterate and establish
the educational message learned by the dogs.

PEARLIE
is an animated comedy series based on the children's book series
Pearlie the Park Fairy by Wendy Harmer. Pearlie is an optimistic,
light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into
situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to
deliver. Aimed for an audience within the 4-8 year old range, Pearlie
focuses on the importance of following the rules, using good judgment
and learning how to avoid getting into trouble. Since Pearlie was
appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparkling
order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping
everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly. Pearlie's
nemesis and cousin Saphira, often takes advantage of Pearlie's good
nature which requires that Pearlie must also frequently outwit the park
bully. In each episode, we see Pearlie approach new tasks and problems
with a great deal of enthusiasm, but without the organization required
to get the job done. Through plot developments and with the assistance
of her friends, Opal and Jasper, she learns what to do and what not to
do in each situation so the park can be restored to order.
