WGBH wants to find out if kids like the TV show and its characters.

VI is looking for kids aged 6 – 9 years old to participate in a 90-minute focus group. In each focus group, we will show kids part of the new TV show and get their reactions to it.

Some details:

* The groups will take place on Tuesday, October 6 in Boston, MA, Thursday October 8 in Phoenix, AZ, and Tuesday, October 13 in Nashville, TN.
* The groups will occur after school during the late afternoon / very early evening.
* We’re conducting 6 focus groups in total, with 6-8 kids in each one.
* Each child will receive a $20 gift card to a local bookstore for their participation.
* Each focus group will last no longer than 90 minutes.
* A trained researcher from Veridian inSight will lead the groups.
* Parents will be responsible for bringing their child to and from the focus groups.



If your child is interested in participating please e-mail Rae Ann at rcatino@veridianinsight.com or call her at 978.405.3108.
