MY FRIEND RABBIT models constructive problem-solving for young children (ages 4-8 years).

The characters specialize in converting a challenge into a social activity filled with optimism, creativity and humor. The series helps children learn to ?think out of the box? by showing viewers how the characters work together to come up with possible solutions, and persist with new ideas when one solution fails.

THE ZULA PATROL is an animated show about six extraterrestrial characters?Captain Bula, his copilot Zeeter, Professor Multo, their pet, Gorgo, and their flying dictionaries, Wizzy and Wiggg?who learn key science concepts as they explore the galaxy through space missions. Often, the group encounters the evil Dark Truder and his talking toupee minion, Traxie, and must thwart Truder?s poorly planned schemes to take over the universe. Each character exhibits unique abilities and traits that, combined with their new knowledge, helps them problem-solve their way through their journeys. Using an integrated approach to target diverse learning styles, the show communicates its educational messages through narratives and a two-part information segment at the end of each story.

MY FRIEND RABBIT models constructive problem-solving for young children (ages 4-8 years). In each episode, the story characters find themselves facing a different dilemma that is drawn from a typical childhood experience. Rabbit and Mouse usually lead us through creative problem-solving, which involves tenacity and working in teams. The group may figure out how to make the most of a bad situation, invent toys from everyday objects, solve some of nature?s riddles, respect their differences, or take care of others who need a little extra help. The characters specialize in converting a challenge into a social activity filled with optimism, creativity and humor. The series helps children learn to think out of the box by showing viewers how the characters work together to come up with possible solutions, and persist with new ideas when one solution fails.
