Netflix has just announced a new Kids’ Original animated series – BEAT BUGS. It looks super cute and is inspired by the music of The Beatles so is great for kids ans parents alike. I don’t about you yummy mummies out there, but I have already instilled a passion for the Beatles in my son. The Beatles should be introduced in music classes the same way classical music is. I really look forward to seeing this series but I will have to wait until later this year.
