Fada Moranga loves Miffy!



Miffy was created in 1955 by Dick Bruna

Miffy's original Dutch name is Nijntje [nɛÉŖ̯ncĒ] which stems from a toddler's pronunciation of the word "konijntje" meaning "little rabbit".

The other characters that appear in the books are her family: Miffy's parents, her Grandmother and Grandfather, Aunt Alice, and her Uncle Bob, who appears in Miffy Goes Flying. A new brother or sister for Miffy is introduced in Miffy And The New Baby. She also has many friends, Boris and Barbara Bear, who first appeared in 1989 and are boyfriend and girlfriend, Poppy Pig, who appeared in 1977, and her niece Grunty, Snuffy, who appeared in 1969, and other bunnies such as Aggie and Melanie. Miffy has been on TV with her friends since 2003.

Dick Bruna's books have now been translated into 40 different languages, and over 80 million copies have been sold all over the world. He has won many awards for his books and in his hometown, Utrecht, there is a square named after Nijntje, the Nijntjepleintje (lit: Nijntje Little Square, to retain the rhyme) and in 2006, the Centraal Museum opened a permanent exhibition, the "Dick Bruna Huis".

Fada Moranga loves Shaun the Sheep!

Shaun is a sheep who does not follow the flock.
Curious, resourceful and fun-loving, his mix of enthusiasm and inexperience is often a recipe for trouble...

Sing along!

You’ve gotta meet this fella living down on the farm
because he’s pretty cool and mellow he’s the king of the barn
When there’s mayhem in the meadow he keeps his crew on track
for all his legendary adventures they should put up a plaque!

For Shaun the sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep
He even mucks about with those who cannot bleat
Keep it in mind
He’s one of a kind
Oh … life’s a treat with Shaun the Sheep

He’s Shaun the sheep .. He’s Shaun the sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep .. He’s Shaun the sheep
He doesn’t miss a trick or ever lose a beat

Perhaps one day
You’ll find a way
To……
Come and meet with Shaun the sheep

His a brave courageous leader and he’s not to get recruit
he’s a friendly kinda geezer who’s remarkably astute
he’s a father of invention with a charismatic knack
for causing havoc in the pasture “Behind the farmers back”

He’s Shaun the sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep
he’s not afraid to make the intellectual leap
for brains and gile
with a wink and a smile
You… can’t compete with Shaun the sheep

la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la
la la la la
la….
la la la la la la la la

He’s always ready with a trick to save the day
a good solution’s not a million miles away
within his flock he’s pure gold
and if his mates get into trouble he’ll return them to the ….

He’s Shaun the sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep
He even mucks about with those who cannot bleat
Keep it in mind
He’s one of a kind
Oh life’s a treat with Shaun the Sheep

He’s Shaun the sheep .. He’s Shaun the sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep .. He’s Shaun the sheep
He doesn’t miss a trick or ever lose a beat
Perhaps one day
You’ll find a way
To … come and meet with Shaun the sheep
Oh…..
Come and bleat with Shaun the sheep
