''Readalong'' was an educational, Canadian Television program for young children, first produced in 1975 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 .
