Run Time: 60 minutes .com ---- The animated British pup and his buddies tackle monsters, dinosaurs, robots, aliens, flying machines, and invisible friends in these seven stories from the Nick Jr. series based on Mick Inkpen's books. Of course, the monsters and dinosaurs don't turn out to be real and the balloon-powered machine needs a steep hill to get off the ground in this gentle 54-minute program. But, to the delight of young viewers, the imaginary friend and the aliens are quite genuine, balls bounce of their own accord, and cookies rain down from outer space. The characters are quietly droll, the situations harmlessly absurd, and the message of friendship and consideration unmistakable. Less cloying than some of its competitors, this series will spark the imaginations of children aged 2 to 6, without annoying their parents. --Kimberly Heinrichs
