Notes from the parents and grandparents the Wonderful World was made for.

WARNING: We bought the show but we didn't realize how many hidden costs there would be! Streaming only costs $20… but once you start watching, you'll be paying for a $700 (used) cello and $1200 a year for music lessons for your child who is now cello obsessed. Between three cellos as my son grows, and probably twelve years of music lessons, this series will cost about $17,000 in the end! And that's assuming our toddler doesn't start begging to play the cello like his big brother. Talk about hidden costs!

Kristin

My two year old daughter prefers Benjamin Cello (che-wwo) to VeggieTales, Little Einsteins, Charlie Brown, and Gene Kelly musicals.

This show is so wholesome even I and my husband have come away feeling uplifted and edified. I can't thank you enough for creating this show. Please never stop.

Therese

My grandkids (3 & 5) enjoyed this so much that they wanted to keep watching the next episode. We got through them in two days. Now we're starting over. I catch them humming or singing the songs when they're playing.

Kim· Colorado

If I had a quarter for every time my kids sing “a donkey is the best friend — ever” I'd be rich. But seriously, we love Benjamin Cello.

Jen

During playtime everything is a cello and she will sit, cross her arms over her cello and say “God loves you and so do I.”

Kathy· Ontario

My kids want a house with a magic bookshelf door and a desk with secret compartments now. But more importantly, it's nice to hear them humming meaningful songs.
