- TriviaIn his "Adventures From the Book of Virtues", William J. Bennett included several pieces written by or concerning Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, as they were amongst his favorite philosophers. Three of the animal characters are named for them. (The leader Plato's being a buffalo is also a reference to Bennett's nickname "Buffalo Bill".) The fourth and the only female who proves one of the two most sagacious, Aurora is the only exception. In keeping with the Greek origins of the others' names, she was named after the Greek deity of dawn.

Featured review
I recently watched a few episodes of this children's show that aims to teach kids about different virtues. While initially intrigued by the concept, I was disappointed with the show. Firstly, the animation style felt outdated and needed to be more live up to the high standards of creativity and charm that I've come to expect from children's shows. The characters didn't quite come to life as I had hoped, and I found it challenging to connect with them emotionally.
Moreover, the storytelling lacked depth and nuance. While the show's emphasis on virtues like honesty, courage, and responsibility is undoubtedly admirable, how it presented these ideas felt a little heavy-handed and simplistic. I found myself craving more complexity and subtlety in the show's messaging, and I was disappointed that it didn't quite deliver on that front.
The show has good intentions and could be a helpful resource for kids who are just starting to learn about concepts like integrity and kindness. However, it falls short of the mark in terms of execution.
