The Teacher from the Black Lagoon and Other Story Books

ECU's Family Fare series presents The Teacher from the Black Lagoon and Other Story Books. Take a literary romp through seven books in sixty minutes--that's seven musical vignettes based on books your kids know and love (or are soon to know and love)!

• "THE TEACHER FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" Follow Hubie's imagination as he faces his comically horrific fears and discovers that his new teacher is pleasantly human after all.
• "DOGZILLA" During the First Annual Barbecue Cook-Off, the dreaded Dogzilla awakens and the residents of Mousopolis must run for their lives. Can they get rid of that stinky dog before it's too late and Mousopolis is destroyed?
• "GRUMPY BIRD" Bird woke up one morning feeling too grumpy to fly or play. A succession of happy- go-lucky animals help Bird turn his day around as a walk turns into an impromptu game of follow-the-leader.
• "I WANT MY HAT BACK" Bear's hat is gone and he wants it back! No one seems to know where it is. When the Deer comes by and asks a simple question, the Bear's memory suddenly returns and he renews his search with a vengeance.
• "LILY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE" Lily loves everything about school, especially her teacher, Mr. Slinger- until he takes away her musical purse. Lily's fury leads to revenge, then to remorse as she sets out to make amends.
• "LOVE SPLAT (SPLAT THE CAT)" Splat has a special valentine for his classmate Kitten, but she doesn't seem to like him at all. Will Splat's heartfelt valentine win Kitten's paw in the end?
• "THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANT" An Ant community narrowly focused on work and possessions learns from the music of little Grasshopper that feeding the belly and feeding the soul both have value. Based a fable by Aesop.
