A Mini-Musical Based On Aesop's Fable "The Lion And The Mouse" For Unison And 2-Part Voices

Join Tumbili the monkey, Tembo the elephant, Kiboko the hippo, Twiga the giraffe, and the rest of the jungle gang for a very special African adventure. A group of storytellers (from your choir or general music classes) narrates the story of a tiny mouse who uses her charm to escape the claws of a ferocious lion. But when that same lion gets caught in the hunter's net - who do you suppose will be the first to his rescue? It's a story of promises kept and friendships made told in five simple songs and a stylized script written especially for young performers. An energized African accompaniment CD and reproducible student pages are included. (Grades K-6)
