  2. My 7 year old and my 5 year old love the show they are always asking when they can go to Kingdom of Paramithi . When ever they do something good they ask if they will go to Kingdom and get a medal. My 7year old daughter who has cerebral palsy just loves James she even wants me to invite him to her Birthday.
    You are doing a great job and we love your show.
