Overview
The vocabulary-building program features a group of five young animals, Kip the wallaby (John Tartaglia), Bailey the elephant (Victor Yerrid), leader Franny the cheetah (Donna Kimball), the mascot Lulu the panda (Dorien Davies), and Tilly the tortoise (Alice Dinnean), "as they sing, dance and play." The show invites young viewers to help teach the baby animals new words, practice these new words themselves, and celebrate these achievements with a "Word Party!", hence the series' title name. The show is narrated by Patina Miller.
Characters
Main
Kip is a wallaby joey and is the second oldest of the group. He loves to jump and is the jokester of the group. Sometimes when he tries to guess what the other babies are feeling, or what someone else is trying to tell him, he has trouble finding out what it is, with him comically and humorously failing. With help from the other babies and Word Wally, he finds the words for what someone else is feeling or saying.
