Editorial Reviews

It’s a Big Big World takes place in the beautiful World Tree, set in a rainforest, where Snook, a charismatic sloth, lives with his diverse group of animal friends. Together they investigate the world around them and discover how different things live, grow and change. It’s a Big Big World’s patented "Shadowmation" technique combines puppetry and computer graphics to bring the characters and their environment to life.

It's a Big, Big, World - The Earth Needs You, includes:

World Tree Day: It is World Tree Day and Snook has made badges to give to all of the residents who do something nice for the tree. While everyone finds their own ways to care for and protect the tree, Bob is worried because he can’t think of anything to do. After a talk with Snook and Oko, Bob writes a song to celebrate the tree and earns a badge from Snook.

What a Wonderful Leaf: Madge is throwing a "Leaf Picnic Party" for the residents of the World Tree and everyone is putting together something special made from leaves to bring to it.

Growing Pains: Smooch is planting a garden and wants to keep everyone out, until she learns that different animals can help her garden grow.

Down in the Dumps: It’s spring cleaning day in the World Tree, the perfect time for everyone to learn about recycling and cleaning up after yourself.

Guardians of the Sappenwood Tree: Winslow and Bob make a new friend and together they become guardians of the endangered Sappenwood Tree.

This review is from: It's a Big, Big, World - The Earth Needs You (DVD)

My son absolutely adores Snook, and the rest of his crew. I'm actually kind of fond of the big sleepy sloth myself. Great music, awesome lessons, and an original cast, what more could a parent or child hope for. I especially love the nature themed morals and lessons taught through this show. I'm not sure if this show still airs on PBS, we haven't seen it in a while, but I made sure to snag all of the DVD's.
