Those programs didn't exist when I was young--of
course, neither did television. But my daughters and I
enjoyed Captain Kangaroo and they enjoyed Mr. Rogers.
For a brief time when my now 38-year-old daughter was
very young there was a wonderful children's program
from Australia. I loved it because of the different
words for things--lift for elevator, pram for baby
carriage, tram for streetcar. She enjoyed it, too; the
characters were real and the stories or activities
were good. It was too short-lived on U.S. television.
Does anyone happen to remember it? Maybe some of you
from Canada or elsewhere saw it?
