Watch Bingo&Molly-Zigger's First Day
- 25 min
It is Zigger's first day in the neighborhood. It looks very pleasant and he's sure he is going to be very happy here - only none of the houses have numbers. He knocks on a door to ask for help. The door opens and Gladys looks out and screams. The door is slammed shut. Poor Zigger who is a pleasant and mild mannered mole finds her behavior very strange and it gets stranger still as Gladys hurries around to let all her friends know that a Mole has arrived in the area. According to Gladys, Moles are very dirty and messy creatures and Zigger is a pest and mustn't be allowed to stay.
However, Molly likes Zigger and isn't frightened away by these stories.
Finally, Mr. Growl intervenes with a story from the book tree and Gladys welcomes Zigger into the neighborhood.
Bingo & Molly was originally produced for The Learning Channel, a division of Discovery Networks and was designed to meet their high standards of excellence in children's programming. Bingo & Molly aired on Discovery Kids and The Learning Channel in around 100 million homes across North and South America.
The shows combine music, puppets and fun-filled animation to help pre-schoolers learn the social skills necessary to relate to family members and other children their own age. An ensemble cast of comical and endearing characters, comprising Bingo & Molly brother and sister rabbits, Gladys the Emu, is the nosy neighbour, Duck is a duck who thinks he's a rabbit, Zigger the mole, Rosa the Bear from South America, and of course Mr. Growl, the vegetarian Wolf, who is the mentor and confidant of the whole team. Together they cope with and solve many of the same concerns that trouble or confuse our young readers. Children will learn that they too can solve the same kind of problems by emulating the solutions of the Bingo & Molly and their woodland friends.
Targeted at the K through 8 age range, these sensitive children's shows were designed to build children's confidence and trust in themselve
