Pinky Dinky Doo is a children's animated series that currently airs on Noggin and dubbed in Spanish on Univision in the USA, ABC in Australia, CBeebies in Great Britain and CBC in Canada.
Pinky is a seven-year-old girl who lives in Great Big City with her parents, her four-year-old brother, Tyler, and their pet, Mr. Guinea Pig. When a problem arises, Pinky dances her way to a cardboard Story Box and uses a piece of chalk and her imagination to tell a story. During the made-up story, Pinky must Think Big, at which point her head swells and she comes up with an often wacky solution to the problem.
This show helps viewers increase their vocabularies with its Great Big Fancy Word, which is featured several times during the episode. It also addresses problem-solving skills as well as the basics of narrative stories -- character, dialogue, plot, details, main idea and sequence of events. After Pinky tells her story and solves the problem of the day, kids are invited to play an interactive game on the Cheese Sandwich toy, where they review details about the story. At the end of each episode, kids are encouraged to make up their own stories.
This series was created by Jim Jinkins, who originally made up Pinky's adventures as bed-time tales for his children. The Executive Producers are Jinkins and David Campbell. It is a production of Sesame Workshop and Cartoon Pizza. According to Noggin, Pinky Dinky Doo is the network’s first original series dedicated to enhancing early literacy.
The original American version was initially shown on CBeebies in the UK, but more recently the show has been redubbed and broadcast with British English accents. There is also a Spanish version on Univision.
