Pete and Gretchen Pederson

This is an exceptional educational series. The characters are cute, the stories engaging, and the characters provide excellent role models for people of all ages and ethnicity. We are in our 70s and although the episodes are designed for children, we love to watch them. For 30 years we worked seasonally in Alaska, and we spent one winter in the interior. The programming is true to the lifestyle and importance of community in this part of the world, and the natural history is exceptionally accurate. Each story has a very clear message with a lesson for young people to remember. One of our favorites is the cabin that must be destroyed. Through the example of a flat tire and a jack, Molly realizes the same technique could be used to raise the building, and then she and her friends show how it’s accomplished. Every episode presents one or more problems with solutions that an adult might suggest, and through work and ingenuity, the young characters eventually resolve the situation. They are super-cute kids with Suki the dog, all overflowing with energy. It’s all a stellar example of how the world should and could be.
