& Other Stories
Explore the wide and wild outdoors in Story Salad’s newest musical medley of popular “little books” for children!
In Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping (based on the book by Peggy Parish), everyone’s favorite literal-minded maid
eschews the coziness of the Rogers’ home and goes roughing it! She “pitches a tent” – into the river! And she
“catches a fish” – with her bare hands!
Even future presidents can be slightly absent-minded! In the true story of Abe Lincoln’s Hat, by Martha Brennan,
our 16th president is a lawyer, but often forgets where he puts his important papers... It turns out that tall hats are
good for covering the head, and also make wonderful wear-able filing cabinets!
“Yippie-ky-yee! Yippie-ky-yuu! Sophie makes up silly songs and you can too!” In the adaption of Dayle Ann
Dodds’ Sing, Sophie! no-one wants to hear our heroine’s whimsical country-western musical offerings, except the
cows, corn, and crickets. But when a storm rises, only one thing can calm Sophie’s baby brother – Sophie’s songs!
Under African skies: Jambo Means Hello
(based on the Caldecott Honor Book by
Muriel and Tom Feelings). Sing along with
the Story Salad gang as they present this
Swahili alphabet song!
Plus: a brand-new story featuring Story
Salad’s scientist extraordinaire, Jackie & the
Rocket Ship, with a jet-propulsion
experiment that kids can do at home. Also:
Scaredy-Cat, inspired by Aesop’s “The Lion,
Prometheus, and the Elephant,” a story
about overcoming fears!
