HAL LEONARD WHY MOSQUITOS BUZZ TEACHER ED

An African folk tale forms the basis of this unique musical story. Through song and story, the animals learn why Mother Owl sits silent and the sun won't come - we all depend on each other and when whispering and gossip interfere, tragedy occurs. The story, which ends happily, can be staged or performed in concert, with many narrators or a single adult story-teller. Great for encouraging children to read good literature. Ideal for upper elementary through middle school performers, this 25-minute musical features five original songs, narrative script and choreography suggestions. Available: Teacher's Manual, Singer's Edition 5-Pak, Preview CD (full performance only) and Performance/Accompaniment CD. Performance Time: 25 minutes. For Gr. 3-9.
