Dr. Bip's New Baby Tips
reviewed by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media
Dr. Bip, an animated character, explains to
young children what to expect when mommy and daddy bring home a new
baby. Addresses the emotional aspects, as well as some practical,
common sense health tips for kids. Adult Juror Comments: Addresses
jealousy, responsibility and safety. May motivate questions for
siblings. Bip is appealing to some but many found his rhyming narration
annoying. The language used is not always age-appropriate.
Stereotypical gender representations, lacks diversity. Kid Juror
Comments: Appeals to those who are expecting a brother or sister. Kids
remembered the safety tips: "Never let go and never pick up the baby
without an adult. It's slippery." Kids didn't care for the rhyming.
The content was often missed due to the rhyming.
