Babu the meerkat, along with his friends Bruce the gorilla and Rhonda the rhinoceros, explore many of the same issues that very young children face, such as wanting to win, feeling silly, or not knowing how much is "too much" of a good thing. As the story illustrating the day's theme is played out, the narrative occasionally pauses so that the live-action preschoolers can suggest a course of action for the puppet characters to take, and often the puppets will react to the advice they receive. Sometimes, there may even be a song related to a part of an episode's story.
