| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | POPPY CAT, based on the book series by Lara Jones, models the use of imagination and storytelling to encourage creative thinking in viewers. Each episode features the narrator Lara, reading a story about Poppy Cat, to her own cat (who is also named Poppy). She weaves an exciting tale following her imagination, which leads her to distant lands reached by boat, plane, hot air balloon or train. Each story features Poppy Cat, as the leader of a group of animal friends, a resident bully Egbert the badger, and other occasionally-recurring characters. A prevailing message emerges within each episode to be nice to your friends and always work together. There remains an over-arching implicit message within every episode as well: think creatively and exercise your mind through reading and storytelling -- for these activities always lead to enjoyment and adventure. |
