Programme Outline
In this programme, we are going to meet a new friend Hat Monster. Hat Monster, as
his name suggests, loves hats. So he has got many hats. He has got many friends too. One
lovely morning, Hat Monster joins his friends, Ada, Sally, Jack and Daniel to play under
the mulberry tree. They enjoy singing and miming actions in the song “Round and Round
the Mulberry Bush”.
You will also meet Father Rabbit, Mother Rabbit and Little Rabbit, Robert as well
as Robert’s teddy bear. The Rabbit family has got many friends such as Mr Baker, Mr
Postman, Mr Fireman, Nurse Daisy and Mr Sailor in the animal village. One day a strong
wind comes to their village and blows away their hats! So all of them run after their hats.
And the wind has brought the hats to Hat Monster and his friends. Hat Monster is very
happy to get five hats! Where do the hats come from? The children ask. Now, Hat
Monster has to find out whom the hats belong to.
