Notably the ''Get Set for Kindergarten!'' series which had a total of six books [[note]] [[https://i.imgur.com/7UB1LJT.jpg "Letter and Sounds"]], [[https://i.imgur.com/mPUdjAs.jpg "How Many? How Much?"]], [[https://i.imgur.com/OmtISnH.jpg "The World Around Us"]], [[https://i.imgur.com/AQLKCbb.jpg "Adding It Up"]], [[https://i.imgur.com/oqFx6jx.jpg "Discover and Explore"]], and [[https://i.imgur.com/cOOXrIs.jpg "Ready to Read"]] [[/note]], [[https://i.imgur.com/Eq0cWRb.jpg "Timothy's Tales From Hilltop School"]], and a giant flip-the-lift boardbook [[https://i.imgur.com/hXZ74XL.jpg "Timothy's Lost And Found Day"]].

Reruns then began airing on Qubo in 2013.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/LisaYamanaka who previously voiced the tough and tomboyish girl Wanda Li in WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus voices the kindhearted, sweet, and soft speaking Yoko.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: This isn't the first time Creator/LisaYamanaka (Yoko) and Creator/AlysonCourt (Nora) were both voicing characters in the same production. Before the show started, both were in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''- Alyson was Claire Redfield while Lisa was Sherry Birkin.
