One new feature of the new Disney Junior channel will be the introduction of the Disney Poetry Shorts. This series of short poems will introduce preschoolers to famous poems read by famous voices with extraordinary moments in Disney animation history as the backdrop. We were given a preview of the poem "Twinkle twinkle little star" and I simply love it!
Another programme I really liked is a series of shorts call ‘A Poem is…” It showcases children’s poems read by celebrities and set against classic Disney animation from films like Winnie the Pooh, Bambi and Dumbo. It was really nostalgic watching the clip that Ms Kanter showed.
A Poem Is… — Laura Linney, Viola Davis, John Leguizamo, Jessica Alba, Owen Wilson and Liev Schreiber are among the narrators of the second season of the acclaimed short-form series designed to introduce young children to the beauty of a poem.

Listening to most often lately:
Ariana Grande ~ "we can't be friends (wait for your love)"
Ariana Grande ~ "imperfect for you"
Kacey Musgraves ~ "The Architect"
I think it's cute, and it's more the kind of thing I think should be part of kids' programming. My only nitpick is that Louis is an alligator, not a crocodile.
As soon as I saw these news headings, I knew Whoopi Goldberg would be involved. There are some other nice names there though, like Kenneth Branagh.
