Production notes

Each half-hour episode contains two stories which highlight specific science concepts, plus two live-action shorts presenting real kids playing and experimenting with these concepts in their own big wide worlds.

"Peep," "Quack," "Chirp," "Tom" and "Nellie" were originally created by Kai Pindal for the National Film Board of Canada productions The Peep Show ((c)1962, National Film Board of Canada) and Peep and the Big Wide World ((c)1988, National Film board of Canada). PEEP and the Big Wide World was developed in association with Eggbox, LLC.
