Little Baby Bum: Music Time is a fun and educational show for children of all ages featuring classic and new nursery rhymes. With her friends and her family, 6-year-old Mia experiences the world around her through song and sometimes even a little magic. A world where animals can dance, buses are friends and rainy days are never boring. Kids love to sing and dance with Mia, Baby Max and a fun and diverse cast of animal, vehicle and human friends. Through the magic of rhythm and rhyme, their world comes to life.

Little baby bum (Noto anche come LBB e LittleBabyBum ) is a British children's CGI-animated web series created in 2011 by Cannis Holder and her husband, Derek Holder. The show revolves around Mia, a young girl, her family, her peers and a group of anthropomorphic characters. The format of the show consists of 3D animated videos of both traditional nursery rhymes and original children's songs, but with a modern aesthetic, which supports infant speech development through song and repetition. It was acquired by Moonbug Entertainment in 2018. The show is available on YouTube, BBC iPlayer, and distributed on SVOD and AVOD players, and over 40 platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Little Baby Bum is available in English, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Polish, German, French, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Turkish

Cannis and Derek uploaded their first video, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to YouTube on August 29, 2011. This was followed, four months later, by their second upload, Baa Baa Black Sheep, a more complex and slightly longer video.

Little Baby Bum's popularity increased after the release of his second video compilation which was about an hour long. To create an hour-long video they combined individual videos into long-form videos. The rationale behind this change was that "parents shouldn't have to keep hitting the play button after each video was finished."

The OpenSlate company released a list of YouTube's 10 highest-earning channels of 2014, ranking Little Baby Bum 4th with 270 million views and $3,46 million in earnings.

In June 2018, LBB announced an upcoming 30-city UK live show tour.

In September 2018, Little Baby Bum was purchased by Moonbug Entertainment for an undisclosed sum. At the time of the purchase, LBB had amassed 16 million subscribers and approximately 23 billion views across Netflix, Amazon and YouTube.

In April 2020, Moonbug signed a deal with Chinese video platform Xigua Video, to host the show on its platform in China
