"Small is powerful, believe it! This is the rallying cry of the Save-Ums, preschool's brand new pint-sized super heroes who race to the rescue and to solve preschool-sized emergencies through collaborative problem solving, critical thinking and the creative use of technology.
"These colorful, 3-D animated characters offer kids an opportunity to feel safe in an exciting adventure world that is bursting with thrills, comedy and challenges. As the Save-Ums save the day using while using helicopters, sticks or jungle vines, preschoolers will learn the principles of cause and effect and the importance of using technology in empathetic ways.
"Children will come to understand that their personal approach to technology and machines are not dictated by technology itself - kids make things happen, not machines! The Save-Ums are victorious because they work together and because they are kind, brave, and willing to help others. That's all it takes to be a hero!
"In the Save-Ums! first adventure Baby Dino's diaper needs changing and Peque won't help! Baby Dino won't stop crying, and Peque is reluctant to help Raymundo change his wet diaper. When Peque sees how happy Baby Dino is after Raymundo and the Save-Ums change his diaper, she realizes that making someone else happy, sometimes means doing things we don't always want to do!"--2003 Peabody Awards entry form excerpt.
