Show Description: NI HAO, KAI-LAN is a play-along, think-along series on Nick Jr. that weaves together the Mandarin Chinese language and Chinese culture into stories that young children will relate to and enjoy. Kai-lan Chow is a bright-eyed, big hearted, bilingual preschooler who lives in a fantastical animated world with her grandpa and her adorable animal friends. Every day, Kai-lan and her buddies, Rintoo the tiger, Tolee the koala, and Hoho the monkey enjoy a playful adventure--like making hats to wear in a hat parade or competing in a Dragon Boat race. In each episode, Kai-lan needs the help of the kid-viewer - her friend and playmate - to solve problems posed by preschool-sized emotions. Together, they work through their feelings, allowing them to enjoy their adventure.
