The TVI Take

Nickelodeon preschool series about Wally, a young troll whose magic stick brings words to life. One of the more intelligently designed literacy shows in recent memory, each episode is built around a specific word, exploring meaning, context, and usage through fantastical adventures.

Solid cognitive stimulation for vocabulary development. The word-magic conceit is genuinely clever and the literacy focus is unusually strong for the age group.
