How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.
This summarises what reviewers said. It isn't our verdict, and we don't write reviews ourselves. See exactly how every number is calculated.
Parent reviews (390)
Real reviews from real parents — the ones we gather from public sources link back to where they were written, and the ones written here are marked as such.

The Lamb - poem by William Blake
Apr 28, 2026 · 2 min
Hello, this is Jana, and I'm here with some lines by the English poet and artist, William Blake. It's a sweet, simple poem, with a deep meaning. Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee. And that was The Lamb, by William Blake, published in 1789 in his book, Songs of Experience. Blake not only wrote and illustrated his poems, but he made the books himself. He engraved words and pictures into metal so that they could be printed. As you heard in this poem, he believed that all living things are united, because God made all of us. For now, from me Jana
