If your preschooler holds any fear about starting school, Mr. Grouper may help ease their worries.

Bubble Puppy

Although he has a fishtail, Bubble Puppy is definitely all dog and always ready to be a part of the action. His favorite activity is popping bubbles, but anytime the guppies are up for some fun (especially Gil), Bubble Puppy is front and center.

Bubble Puppy is a model of optimism and cheer, something common in preschoolers. This guy is a good model for young ones as well as a reminder for parents who may have lost some enthusiasm for daily life amidst the busyness of adulthood.

Nonny

Nonny is a shy Bubble Guppy who tends to worry. A lot more cautious than the other guppies, Nonny would rather talk about what is going on than actually do it. He is very smart, but physical activities (like basketball) make him anxious.

If your child is shy, she may recognize herself in Nonny and find comfort in knowing that shyness is a normal personality trait.

Little Fish

These fish have all the answers. If a guppy asks a question, the Little Fish pipe in with the right response. The fish follow the group around, serving as helpful guides to the viewers at home.
