Iβve been enjoying the #AmazonPrime #Canadian documentary β#MrDressup : The Magic of Make-Believeβ about the work of the wonderful Ernie Coombs on #CBCkids #television.
From the story of puppets Casey & Finnegan, to the #Tickletrunk itβs all there, w/ observations from those who grew up with the show.
For Americans who value the work of #MrRogersNeighbourhood, this documentary also covers how #MrRogersβ show debuted from Toronto on #CBC in the mid #1960s.
