Plot


The series revolves around a show bug host named Lingo and his family of bugs, who each specialize in a different language. At the request of children, he travels across the world to perform a Big Bug Show using one of his performers. In each episode, the chosen performer searches around for props required for their show, as they introduce objects in their language, before they bring them back to Lingo so they can perform the show for the delighted preschool children.
