The pentatonic scale has a very distinct, instantly recognisable and pleasing sound that can be layered over many other chords and scales. For these reasons it is frequently found to be a key component of many popular songs.

Is three years of age too early to get a kid start learning Carnatic music if the kid can quickly memorize and sing rhymes/slokas, considering the parents are not from a singing background?
Learning has no age! And it's best to start as early as possible! Kids are a blank canvas at an early age, and you can expose them to good values and direct them in a productive direction at that point!...
