This revised version of the award-winning social studies program introduces two animated characters, Turkey and Eagle, to host new episodes. New illustrative stories, music and graphics help each of these programs demonstrate the key message — that democracy works best when everyone participates.

Each program provides:

  • Key concepts students need to know
  • The springboard to get kids talking about the meaning of neighborhood, country and patriotism
  • Opportunities for kids to hear national leaders talk about the rights and responsibilities of all citizens
