Timothy Goes to School

Timothy Goes to School is an American/Canadian children's animated television series based on the series of Yoko and other individual books by Rosemary Wells such as "Shy Charles", "Fritz and the Mess Fairy", and "Noisy Nora", but is titled after the book of the same name. It primarily features a young enthusiastic raccoon named Timothy (voiced by Austin DiIulio, who also voiced Pecola and Spinner in Season 1 of Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends), who attends a fictional primary school called "Hilltop School" along with ten other students (each of which is of different animals), who are mainly friends of him and each other. The kindergarten class is taught by Mrs. Jenkins, a comforting teacher who enjoys educating and helping her students.

The series aired on PBS Kids as part of the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch (the third show to premiere after Corduroy and Elliot Moose.) Reruns were later broadcast on Discovery Kids (until 2006) and Qubo in the US.
