Michelle Obama and puppet pals heading to Netflix for new educational kids’ series

It’s not only a kids’ show, but what might be called a Cool Kids show — Lyric Lewis plays the store’s baker, named Baker; Rashida Jones guests as Cheryl from the cheese counter; Barack’s old interlocuter Zach plays a stockboy and “Stranger Things’” Gaten Matarazzo an electrician; Common helps Waffles and Mochi discover their roots; Tan France dresses a potato to bring out its inner beauty (“Are we thinking country, ‘cause you’re an Idaho?”). Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, also known as Garfunkel and Oates, write the songs, at least one of which is sung by Sia. Chefs include José Andrés, Pía León, Mashama Bailey, Motokichi Yukimura, Preeti Mistry and Samin Nosrat.
