wonderful show

This show is wonderful for kids. The CGI was done with a cartoon look instead of reaching for reality, which helps draw in the kids and the show doesn't stretch for anything. It is simple enough to draw in the kids and the characters interaction is incredible. My 3yo is transfixed to this show more than any other. Plus he gets the same out of this as he does Dora and Diego with the multi-lingual aspect. While similar in nature to Bob the builder, as both shows promote teamwork on projects, Bob tends to do large scale projects and Manny works on fix-it projects around the house. The different types of tools make it easy for kids to see how different types of work are completed. A perfect compliment to Bob, not a competitor.
