So, during the search "My Special Book", I discovered this show called "Little Big Kid". It was an interstitial on YTV in 1999 that was about a three-year-old (played by Peter Oldring, who was an adult at the time) discovering things in the world through mime. In a later season, Jessica Holmes took over the role. It seems like just a really weird show, and I kind of am curious.
Looking at the CRTC programming logs, I can say here's the airing cycle
Hmmm, I'll check my emails with Michael Decsi, since this sounds somewhat familiar. He might have produced it, or I might be thinking of something else that had a similar name.

I have the episode list. For this show, YTV logs are more reliable since they give the episode number. There are 70 episodes of this show, and I could only find the names for episodes 1, and 39 to 70. Episodes 2 to 38 are still a mystery.
Here are the ones I could find the name of (1) Let’s Go Sledding (39) Let’s Take a Picture (40) It’s Snack Time (41) Let’s Mail a Letter (42) This Sweater Is Too Big (43) Soup’s Too Hot (44) The Wagon (45) What’s In the Box? (46) Let’s Grow Something (47) It’s Time for Bed (48) Where’s My Tool Belt? (49) Let’s Go on a Picnic (50) Don’t Lose Your Key (51) Watch Out for That Bee (52) Let’s Go Fishing (53) Let’s Learn to Skate (54) Scratch That Itch (55) One, Two, Tie My Shoe (56) Let’s Play on the See-Saw (57) Happy Birthday (58) X Marks the Spot (59) It’s Nap Time (60) You’ve Got Hiccups (61) It’s Raining, It’s Pouring (62) Those Glasses Are Too Big (63) Hooray for Hula Hoop (64) There’s a Hole in Your Sock (65) Shh! Don’t Wake the Baby (66) My Tooth Is Loose (67) You’ve Got Silly Hair (68) Your Shoes Are… (69) I Love Ketchup (70) Let’s Play Basketball

How do you get treehouse logs on the crtv website?

OMG I remember this show! I think I watched it when the female was the actor. It was a lady and she would wear bright clothing I think, possibly a blue yellow and red hat with a little helicopter spinner on top. I'm not sure the show had dialogue. Seeing a picture of the actor reminds me of this show

I actually had a good conversation with her about the show. She unfortunately has nothing left of it, but she used to have a personal VHS copy that YTV gave her that she would play for the kids.

Did she mention what happened to the VHS?
she didn't. I'm guessing it just either broke or was played too much.

I suggest we contact Peter Oldring, who portrayed the titular character in Season 1. He has been in many animated TV shows from Canada and, just like Jessica, this show is his first credit on IMDb.
I’m sure we’d have found more of both this and MSB if more effort and collaboration were involved from other members not directly involved yet. MSB is my goal right now but I have been hitting many dead ends lately.
Yes we have a recording of MSB but the quality is lackluster and nobody really seems to be continuing on the search besides me and a couple others. I’d say it’s only 5% found. As for LBK it definitely deserves a search level as big as MSB. I’m not saying one is more important than the other but MSB is my personal holy grail.

I personally think one My Special Book is a special thing in itself. But, is there any way you recommend I get involved in either the MSB or LBK searches?

I contacted Peter Oldring on Instagram a while back (his handle is @whatpetersaw). He seemed very happy that someone knew his work on the show. He said he had Beta tapes of the show somewhere in his attic. Maybe someone else could contact him about that. I'm going on vacation on Saturday (for a whole week), and am possibly bringing back a Beta VCR with me.
