"The Huggabug Club" is an educational TV series for kids ages 2-8. The series was co-created by veteran actresses and sisters Audrey and Judy Landers, and their manager/producer/ mother Ruth Landers; Ruth also served as Executive Producer. The series also was broadcast in South Africa. The Landers sisters co-wrote over 150 original songs for the series. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1995_June_20/ai_17093488]

In addition to Miss Audrey and Miss Judy the program features full-body puppets who magically appear with the help of a computer: Huggabug, a cowboy-insect; Miss Oops-A-Daisy, a clumsy flower; and Auntie Bumble, a grandmotherly bee. The cast also includes the "Buggsters", a group of multi-cultural children who sing and dance. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1995_June_20/ai_17093488]

An advisory board of teachers and a child psychologist helped to guide the series towards "lifeskills"-teaching themes. The themes are: integrity, initiative, flexibility, perseverance, organization, sense of humor, effort, common sense, problem solving, responsibility, patience, friendship, curiosity, cooperation and caring.

The television series and videotape releases have been awarded The Parents Choice Award, The Dove Foundation Award, and The Kids First Award for quality in children's media. [http://www.landersproductionz.com/huggabug.html]
