Summary: 2 year old loves them!
Comment: My daughter started watching Wonder Pets a few months ago, and now I think we have all the dvd's that are currently out. They are cute, short(12 minute) episodes, that hold my daughters attention. They teach good lessons, like sharing and teamwork. Plus they are full of singing and music!!!

Summary: The speech makes me wonder.
Comment: My children love this little series. As a parent though, hearing the speech impediment of the duck is like nails on a chalk board. An example is when they sing "There's an animal on trouble", hers comes out as "Daez an animaw in twubo." Or you don't know if "feewa" is feel or fear.
If your children are having trouble with pronunciation, I would not recommend re-enforcing it with this series.

Summary: Problem solving for 3-4 four year olds
Comment: All the DVDs are great for introducing new concepts when trying to solve a problem. My 4 year old niece has been in love with the wonder pets since the first time she saw the show.
Each show begins with an animal in trouble. The wonder pets race to the rescue overcoming obstacles on the way.
What the shows on the DVD are trying to teach:
Save the Unicorn: A baby unicorn gets his horn stuck in a tree. Very cute. Introduces the concept of tightening and loosening screws. A more important lesson, I think, is the wonder pets believing the dragon was mean after seeing him, then realizing he was friendly after meeting him.
Save the Penguin: A baby penguin is stuck on an iceberg. Stresses the importance of working together, using everyone's abilities to help. Ducks are good at flying, Turtles are good at swimming.
Save the Swan: A baby swan is afraid to join the big dance show because he doesn't dance as well as others. "Try your best, your own way" seems to be the lesson. It's okay to be different.
Save the Puppy: I need to Pee! A pup is locked in the house and has to potty. He's never used his doggie door so the wonder pets must help him get outside. Tries to encourage little ones to try new things to solve problems.

Summary: terrific for the preschool set
Comment: My 2.5 year old loves the songs and the stories. We sing the "teamwork" song when I need to get him to cooperate with me. As a parent, I think the length of each segment (about 15 - 20 minutes) makes it easy to control how much time is spent watching the show. The different musical styles also makes the music for the Wonder Pets series more varied than most other children's shows.
