Mrs. McPuppet's
Magic Treasure Shop
A visitor noted recently that she and her family have
treasured their one Mrs. McPuppet CD and wished there were more. As a
result we are building a bigger doorway to Mrs. McPuppet's Treasure Shop where
you can buy CDs and puppets and small furry creatures. OK, we're just kidding
about the furry creatures. Visit the shop and delight your family with all
four of Mrs. McPuppet's CDs and buy your very own puppet and find the joy of
something coming to life in your hands.

Dear Elizabeth,
The thrill
of the new season is upon us. The
cheerful robins are back, hopping along
the ground, turning over the dusty old
leaves and sounding their classic
whinny. We have conquered another
winter and that is reason to celebrate.
We are also celebrating the 15th
anniversary of Baby Hippo, with her
irresistible song and silly
antics. Baby Hippo is currently
writing her autobiography with
stories about her life and adventures
which will appear in a series this
summer. She's excited and hopes you will
enjoy her books.

Songs for the Season
In the classroom or just about anywhere |
| 1. Billy Goats Gruff (on Magic Parade)
Get up for the "trip trap trip trap over the
bridge we go" and move. Compare the classic tale
with my new version.
2 I?ve Got A Toad
( on Magic Parade) A good lead into hibernation
and amphibians. Where do they go all winter
long?
3. Fiddle I Fee (
on Waltzingwith Fireflies) A great action song
when you need to move and get the oxygen
flowing. Assign different children to be each
animal. Some of the motions are set, the cat
would put it's fiddle up move the bow back and
forth- everyone fiddles too. Then it's the hen,
she goes "chipsy chopsy", bend your arms into
wings and flap. Have fun making up your own
motions. Let the leaders take a bow afterwards.
