In Pompon Bear, children learn not through pressure, but through curiosity and joy. Inspired by Montessori values, the series encourages emotional growth, creativity, and self-confidence. Pompon is eager to explore the world, guided by his senses and supported by kind, attentive parents who trust him to try things on his own.

He learns by doing, expressing himself freely, and interacting with others — especially Rita and his animal neighbors. Through play and discovery, Pompon Liittle Bear shows that when children are trusted, listened to, and allowed to be creative, the world becomes a place full of possibilities.

"Pompon's carefreeness, naivety, spontaneity, and sense of wonder make him moving in all things. The universe of the series is gentle, but the stories, far from being sugar-coated, can also show the dangers of nature, the minor illnesses or discomforts a child might experience. So there is no cheating when it comes to the reality of the world. Georges and Linette, Pompon's parents, are there for him, but in the spirit of 'Montessori' pedagogy, they observe without judgment but with great kindness. Linette works as a midwife and Georges takes care of the home - a subtle reversal of traditional roles. And, a rare thing, the loving relationship between the parents visible on screen through the special attention they give one another, remains surprisingly touching."

Set in a lush, colorful world inspired by Benjamin Chaud's whimsical style, we follow this young bear cub as he explores the wonders of nature. Between forests, meadows, rivers, and mountains, Pompon's playground is full of freedom, discovery, and friendship.

His cozy den, nestled by a lake, is surrounded by curious animal neighbors like Gabi the wolf cub, Agnes the globe-trotting stork, and Josie the trumpet-playing elephant. Each season brings new sounds, colors, and surprises, encouraging Pompon’s curiosity about flowers, animals, trees, and the environment.

With gentle guidance from his loving parents, Pompon learns to observe, marvel, and grow — encouraging children to connect with the natural world in a playful and meaningful way.
