This is one of the best kid’s shows for any little one who loves music, dancing, and generally having fun. Jack, his best friend Mary, and his dog Mel have a club-house filled with musical instruments, and they’re always trying a new kind of music, from Beach Boys-inspired rock to country to jazz to opera and even speed polka! Guest stars, like Laurie Berkner, abound, and there’s never a dull moment. Your little Maestro will love it!

I admit I think this show is a little odd, but my daughter, who’s always got a song in her heart, loves it! The characters are geared towards a younger crowd, but older kids (7 even!) may still enjoy it for all of the musical guests (like the Roots and even Jack Black)… in fact, that’s why I still watch it!

Charlie and Lola sing a lot, and the animation is sure to capture even the most hyper child’s attention. The music is light, and the characters are sweet and charming. The only downside? Since this show is out of the U.K., plushies and tees are hard to find.
My daughter and I love these kid’s shows, and so will your little one! Or maybe he or she already watches them? Which is her favorite, and why? Or does she have another musical kid’s show she likes more? Please let me know!
