| | Floridian: Welcome to a brave new world |
 | | It's a Big, Big World makes a big, big splash on PBS today in a half-hour show that blends giant puppets, animatronics and computer-generated graphics to teach young children about the world, science and relationships. |
 | | Unlike anything else on the air, Big, Big World delivers a beautiful, brightly colored package - a cross between puppetry and animation - that befuddles the eye and gives life to characters that beg to be made into giant, fluffy toys. |
 | | Each lesson takes place in the World Tree, a metaphor for the world, and stars a wise, laid-back giant sloth named Snook who helps a cast of youngsters (monkeys, tree frogs, marmosets and such) make sense of their world. |
