Nanalan'

Russell (left) and Mona (right)

Nanalan' is a television show broadcast by the CBC in Canada and by PBS in the US, created by the puppet troupe, The Grogs. Its target audience is preschool children and, according to the CBC, Nanalan' is "designed to foster children's curiosity and love of learning, with the hope they will carry it with them as they grow." Excerpts from the show also air on Fox Kids UK.

The show's main character is a three-year-old girl named Mona. In each episode, Mona's mother drops her off at her Nana's (grandmother's) house in the morning and picks her up at the end of the episode. Mona, Nana and Russell (Nana's puppy dog) spend the day exploring, learning, visiting Mr. Wooka (Nana's neighbor) and playing.

Nanalan' began airing in 2003. In 2004, it was nominated for the following three Gemini Awards: Best Performance in a Pre-School Program or Series; Best Writing in a Children's or Youth Program or Series; and Best Pre-School Program or Series. Nanalan won Best writing and Best performance, an award shared by Jamie Shannon, Jason Hopley, Todd Doldersum, Ali Eisner and Martin Stelnick.

Several compilation DVDs of the show and a CD of musical highlights are also available.
