Wallykazaam!

In honor of the one-year anniversary of my favorite current kids' show, I figured I would introduce you all to Wallykazam!

Wallykazam first aired on Nick Jr. last year as the first literacy-centered show on Nickelodeon. The network had themed shows around language with Dora and countless other educational programming, but this is the first centered around teaching kids to read. Not only does Wally teach kids to read, but it's also an adorable show, with great characters, and really interesting art. Wally and his pet dragon, Norville, go on all sorts of journeys around their magical land, and with regular appearances from series regulars like, Bobgoblin the Hobgoblin, the show is truly one of the best ones on TV for preschoolers.

This Friday, February 6th there will be a one hour Wallykazam! special on Nickelodeon at 12:00pm EST. In the lead-up to the special, Wally and his friends have taken over the Nick Jr. website and iOS app, so if you want to check out the show, this week is a prime opportunity.
