Production notes
Toot & Puddle follows the adventures of two very different best friends from Pocket Hollow who find adventure wherever they go: Toot the intrepid world-traveler and Puddle the backyard explorer. Toot is the young pig-on-the-go who might be off in the far reaches of the globe, while Puddle finds delight using his imagination to seek out world-expanding escapades a little closer to home. Through Toot and Puddle's wonder-filled world of exploration, viewers will come to understand that having friends with differing points of view can be exciting. Each storyline encourages young children to recognize and value other people's feelings and perspectives as well as their own and demonstrates attributes of friendship.
Based on the award-winning and New York Times best-selling book series by renowned children's author and illustrator Holly Hobbie.
