Wonder Pets

Wonder Pets is an animated children’s television show for preschoolers. It was first debuted in March 2006.

Wonder Pets is about 3 classroom pets Linny a guinea pig, Ming Ming a duckling and Tuck a turtle that travel around the globe saving animals. These 3 pets do not have real super powers like any preschooler. They work as a team to save the animals in trouble. Each episode encourages teamwork, empathy, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation of music and humor.

About the Wonder Pets Characters
