Readalong was an educational, Canadian television program for young children, first produced in 1976 for TVOntario.
The program taught fundamentals of reading with the help of live child actors and puppets, including a comically dressed grandmother figure named Granny and anthropomorphic footwear: a brown, male boot and pink, female shoe named, appropriately, Boot and Pretty. Other characters were Mister Bones, the Explorer, House, and the Thing.
The Granny, Boot, and Pretty puppets are now housed at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Noreen Young, who designed the puppets, also created puppets for other programs, including Under the Umbrella Tree. The characters were developed by Ken Sobol, who also wrote all the scripts for the series. The show's music was composed by Eric Robertson.
The fun, imaginative, and not least educational antics never end when the two friends "Magnus and Myggen" – known and loved by all children from the popular PC games – set off on adventures. Skipper and Skeeto have now, for the first time, been made into a proper animated series, and in every episode, the good-natured but not always so clever mole, Magnus, and his small, intelligent friend, Myggen, constantly encounter new, exciting experiences together with Konrad the Cat, Fungy the Frog, Molly the Mouse, Kalle the Rabbit, and all the other residents of Paradise Park.
The magician Kyary lives in a magical house with her companions Saffy and Zuby. Her friends Rito, Shun, and Tsugumi, as well as the takoyaki-loving Aoyan and the fashionable PEACHY bird duo, come to play in the magic house and have a blast every day. They play games, fight, and have all kinds of unexpected happenings. Come and play with them in the magical house, where the world of excitement and thrill spreads!
