Characters

Leo, who is a six year old boy, is the leader of the Little Einsteins and the one that flies Rocket. His main hobby is conducting; he always has his baton with him in all of the missions. He is able to conduct anything on the missions.

June is a six year old girl who loves to dance ballet. She also likes to look at the stars at night.

Quincy is a five year old boy who loves to play musical instruments. He is afraid of the dark.

Annie is a four year old girl who is the little sister to Leo. She is the only other one who can fly Rocket. She loves balloons and making up songs for each mission.

Rocket is the Little Einsteins main form of transportation, Rocket has a lot of accessories that help the Little Einsteins complete their mission.

Big Jet who is Rocket and the Little Einsteins nemesis, he tries to ruin parties and steal things from the Little Einsteins so they can not complete their mission. But the Little Einsteins in the end always steal back what Big Jet stole from them and teach him a lesson.

Even through my 19 month old son really does not know what he is learning I really enjoy this show for him. It is teaching him classical music and to always help other people in need. He loves to pat his hands on his legs to make Rocket go and when Annie starts to sing her songs he moves his head back and forth. Watching this show has also educated myself with the composers and the artwork they show.
