Parenting advice for mums and dads of school aged children – all about helping your child deal with school challenges and difficulties, and raising a healthy child.

The new kids’ show turning books into joy and imagination

Just launched on TVNZ+ and TVNZ 2, Mr Hugo’s Little Library, arrives as a feel-good addition to family viewing. This locally made show invites kids aged 4 to 8 years old into a world where stories don’t just sit on shelves, they leap, sing and sparkle their way into life.

Mr Hugo’s Little Library is an imaginative, live-action, musical comedy series that blends books, music, and theatrical play into something truly joyful. For parents looking for something uplifting (and a little bit magical), this is one show that earns its place in the weekly routine. Because sometimes, the best kind of entertainment starts with a simple idea: open a book, and see where it takes you!
