The Little Einsteins

These are the Little Einsteins - Leo, Annie, Quincy and June, riding in Rocket, which has a distinct personality of its own. Orla discovered Little Einsteins fairly recently, as it comes on after Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It has quickly become a firm favourite. Each episode focuses on a piece of art and a piece of classical music. Orla has learnt lots of things from the Little Einsteins, including that "adaggio" means slow and "allegro" means fast. She sings the "bee song" (Flight of the Bumble Bee) and pretends to play musical instruments. I must confess, I find the characters irritating (particularly Leo), but she totally loves it and it does seem educational.
