Little Bill - I Love Animals [VHS]

Bill Cosby's animated young doppelganger visits the zoo, the pet store, and the responsibilities of pet care in this animal-centric installment of Cosby's gentle instructional series. In the first episode, Little Bill is impatient to see his favorite animals, the elephants, on his class trip, but he must learn patience since they are the last stop at the zoo. Inspired by his trip, in the second episode Little Bill gets permission from his parents to buy a pet but scales down his wishes from elephant to hamster. In the final two episodes, the class rabbit has bunnies, which class members seek homes for, eventually coming full circle to find a place for them at the zoo's petting area. With the stellar voice talent of Ruby Dee, Gregory Hines, Phylicia Rashad, and Doug E. Doug, this classy series (seen on Nick Jr.) makes race irrelevant through its universal stories. Ages 3-7. --Kimberly Heinrichs
