Big and Small work to coexist and understand each other in the preschool series Big and Small.

Big and Small is a new Canadian/U.K. co-production for preschoolers featuring puppets by the Grogs (of Mr. Meaty and Nanalan’ fame) that debuted this week here in Canada. It’s a brilliantly simple concept built around two best friends who are, well, big and small. Small has to learn to cope with big stuff, and Big has to learn to be tolerant of a small creature who can’t sit still in one place very long. It’s a wonderfully simple metaphor and really charming series.

Big and Small airs on Treehouse TV in Canada and Cbeebies in the UK. Clips from the show are available to watch online here and here.
