It’s a Big Big World, created by three-time Emmy®-winner Mitchell Kriegman, is set in a lush rainforest, where Snook, a giant dancing sloth, lives in the World Tree with his diverse group of animal friends.Together they investigate the world around them and learn about science, nature, and environmental stewardship.

The Big Big Sleep shows how and why the characters of the World Tree get their rest.

Go to Sleep Wartz: Wartz has so much fun playing with his marmoset friends that he decides he wants to play all the time and never sleep again. Snook isn’t so sure about this, however, and brings the little frog to visit different animals in the tree, learning how each one gets their rest. Wartz is still convinced that he is one frog that doesn’t need to sleep, but when he and Snook sit down at the end of the day, Wartz finds out that the nighttime sounds of the forest are a perfect lullaby, and drifts off to a long-overdue slumber.

Sleepover:When Wartz hears that a storm is coming, he thinks he’d rather stay in his own log than go to a sleepover at Smooch and Winslow’s hut.He doesn’t want the marmosets to laugh at him for being afraid. After Oko reminds Wartz that everyone gets scared sometimes and Snook explains what causes lightning and thunder, Wartz decides to go to the sleepover after all. When he arrives and the thunder begins, he learns that Smooch and Winslow are also a bit scared, so he shares Snook’s explanation of the weather and everyone settles in for a fun night!

Sounds of the Forest: Wartz moves into a new log, but after his first day there he is exhausted – he keeps hearing mysterious whistling and knocking noises and he can’t sleep. Madge explains the cause of the whistling (wind passing over holes in the log), and later Wartz discovers the source of the knocking noises – it’s Winslow! He was making music by hitting wooden blocks together. After Wartz explains that he learned about sound and vibrations from Madge, the two entertain Snook and Madge with a jungle vibrations concert.

Hot Enough For You?: There is no breeze in the hot World Tree and Winslow hypothesizes that if he can find out who in the tree is cool, he will know who has taken the missing breeze.He goes to visit the other animals, learning how everyone handles the heat, but he can’t find the breeze thief anywhere.Finally, Snook explains that if there isn’t air moving from one place to another as part of the weather, there isn’t any wind to make a breeze.But there is something they can do to beat the heat – take a nap!

Sloth Lessons: After Winslow tells Bob that he should try being more carefree, Bob decides that since Snook is the most laid back animal he knows, he is going to become Bob the sloth. But, after spending some time with Snook eating, moving, and sleeping like a sloth, Bob realizes that he isn’t made to be a sloth, and there are some really neat things about being an anteater.
