Plot
Babu the meerkat, along with Bruce the gorilla and Rhonda the rhinoceros, explore issues young children face, such as wanting to win, feeling silly, or not knowing how much is too much of a good thing. As the story unfolds, the narrative pauses so live-action preschoolers can suggest a course of action for the puppets, who sometimes react to the advice. Episodes may include a song related to the story.
