One day I stayed home from work due to an illness. I was asleep until about 9:30 a.m. and eventually turned the telly on and started surfing the channels. I finally landed on the last 15 minutes of "Nanalan'". I had seen little blips before of Mona's honeydew melon head as I cruised the channels, but this time I thought "Well, I'm getting into illustrating children's stories, so I may as well check this out and see if I can get any ideas from it." Was I glad that I did. Mona was also sick and in bed and "Misser" Wooka had come over with his puppet theatre to give her a little entertainment. I laughed so hard over it that, at least for a few minutes, I actually felt a little better. From then on I tried to catch the prog whenever I could.
The end of the show always comes with a ring of the doorbell. Mona looks at the camera and yells "Mo-o-o-my-y-y-y!!" so sweetly that it just tugs at my heart. When I watch this it reminds me of the summer days that I spent at my grandma's house. When my mom came through the door I pretty much did the same thing as Mona.
Unfortunately "Nanalan'" is always on while I'm at work and doesn't come on again until after my bedtime, so I don't get to view it as often as I would like. :( This is great entertainment for kids and, well, for adults also. The characters and backgrounds scream colour and children can relate to the stories.
