George Shrinks
When the world around them feels scary, young children can be comforted by stories showing characters who succeed at overcoming adversity. That’s why Theresa Bertuzzi, a former elementary-school teacher and co-founder of Tiny Hoppers early learning center, recommends George Shrinks. “George often finds himself in dangerous predicaments, mostly because of his physical size,” she says. “But he teaches kids that no matter the situation we find ourselves in, we should always remain positive and never give up.” Plus, it’s free on YouTube. Best for ages 4 through 6.
