Toddlers in-the-know will soon be tuning into the morning show with the warmest and cuddliest of hosts. The anchor of choice for the under-six crowd is the newly cast Captain Kangaroo! The show, which is taped at Busch Gardens in Orlando, Florida, provides kids with the ultimate playground, replete with lions, tigers, polar bears, and a wildlife expert; a Treasure House brimming with surprises; and characters parents will remember from their own childhoods. Plus there are lots of new friends to be made, including Joey, a lovable kangaroo with a most inventive mind, and Copernicus P. Digit, one of the most animated beings ever to coast on the information highway!

Readers will have the time of their lives finishing Grandfather Clock's rhymes!

As Captain Kangaroo will tell you, the only thing Grandfather Clock loves more than making up rhymes is sharing his verse with others. Now parents and children can chime in, too! Parents read first, then Grandfather Clock lets kids know when it's their turn to join in the fun. An ongoing rebus game signals kids to finish his sentences.
