The Hoobs Funny Faces

The Hoobs continue their quest for knowledge in these two Hoobygalooby episodes from the Channel 4 series for pre-schoolers. Travelling the universe, Iver, Tula and Groove encourage young children to explore the world with them. Each episode begins with a question that the Hoobs seek to answer, generally enlisting the help of the Tiddlypeeps along the way, and follows them as they report their findings to Hubba Hubba Hoob back home.

The activities of the Hoobs in the Hoobmobile are interspersed with animated film footage and clips of real children, giving plenty of scope to explore each subject in more depth and supplying additional interest. Each programme provides a springboard for further discussion and offers fun ideas for activities at home or in the nursery, from making masks to drawing mermaids.

At the end of each episode the Hoob News provides a recap of the journey--reinforcing the ideas and issues that have been raised along the way.

Accompanied by cheerful music and song, mainly provided by the Motorettes--colourful, musical creatures that work inside the engine in the Hoobmobile--the Hoobs stimulate and engage young imaginations with a lively, fun, mix of education and entertainment. This is yet another success for the Jim Henson Company.
