A highly underrated children's cartoon that sadly gets few repeats on tv. This gentle series about a loveable blue octopus had a surreal feel to it and was set to very mellow jazzy music. There were only two DVDs released for the UK but they're cheap and easy to find on ebay and well worth buying. If any of our toddlers had a tantrum, we would put Oswald on and it would calm them down instantly, every time!
As yet, there is no official Oswald website, but you can play Oswald games on the Nick JR website here.
www.poissonrouge.com Poisson Rouge, or "Red Fish Soup" is probably the best free interactive games website for very young children. It is unique in that it covers many different languages in very entertaining ways.
