Jan und Henry
The two have heard something again
A scratching sound under the bed, the curtain fluttering … How can anyone get any sleep? That’s how the funny meerkat brothers feel. In this inventive program, they investigate all the sounds that keep them from settling in for the night. Children love the humorous puppets and their fanciful stories. Jan and Henry are the perfect companions for the evening bedtime ritual.
