Learning Through Laughter (NAPSA)—Research shows that learning through laughter not only increases the enjoyment and engagement of a child, but can increase learning by as muchas67 percent. “Laughter encourages a relaxed and positive attitude toward learning, reduces anxiety about failing and enhancescreativity,” said chartered psychologist, author, lecturer and researcher Dr. David Lewis, who conducted the research. “In short, laughter helps the brain work better.” “Pocoyo”has a strong educational content but never sacrifices its entertainmentvalue or senseof fun. This fun-driven approach is the philosophy behind “Pocoyo,” a new CGI-animated television series currently airing on Nickelodeon’s Nick Jr. The preschool property from Zinkia Entertainment brings chil- dren into the exuberant world of Pocoyo (“little me” in Spanish), an inquisitive and fun-loving 3-yearold boy, and his animal friends Elly (the elephant), Pato (the duck) and Loula (his pet dog). Pocoyo uses music, dance and humorto help children “learn through laughter.” For more information on “Pocoyo,” please visit www.pocoyo. com and for a truly interactive experience, join www.pocoyoworld. com.
