Kate & Mim-Mim: Flight of the Flowers

This candy-colored Canadian children's animated series follows 5-year-old pig-tailed youngster Kate and her purple stuffed animal rabbit friend Mim-Mim, who comes to tall anthropomorphic life when the duo are (without preamble) spun away to the whimsical land of Mimiloo (Kate usually faces a mild predicament, starts swinging Mim-Mim around, and then—wham—winds up in her fantasy world). “Flight of the Flowers” finds the pair joining up with other pals to become pilots for taking giant flowers to friend Lily's seasonal party. “The Need for Seed” parallels Kate's real-life gardening with her mom and an imaginary quest for finding the right growing conditions for pal Gobble's coveted “surprise sapling seed.” Also including “Butterfly Flowers,” “Small Wonders,” “Bunch O'Boomers,” and “Babysitting Squoosh,” this series about encouraging friends and working towards problem-solving is a strong optional purchase.
