Mother Nature tells stories involving nature. Her first story, “A Tree For Me,” is a favorite rhyming story found in most libraries with Mother Nature’s own special “twist”. Children will be able to use call and respond to this tale. Students delight over Mother Nature’s puppets such as Audrey the Venus Fly Trap, Mama Raccoon and the yellow and red butterflies. Mama Raccoon will help teach the children the difference between a nocturnal and diurnal animal. Students will learn examples of animals that fit into each category as well. Audrey the Venus Fly Trap (puppet) will help teach the children what a carnivorous plant is and where it lives! Audience volunteers will help with manipulating butterfly puppets for the final story. It is an original story by Margaret herself called "How Calvin the Caterpillar Got His Wings". It is a story of a little caterpillar that wanted to be able to fly. He goes through metamorphosis and gets his wings. At the end of the story a confetti launch of tissue paper butterflies will fly over the audience's heads. Children will be asked to pick all the butterflies up, put them into paper sacks that the teachers will be provided and take them back to the classroom to use in an art project to illustrate Mother Nature's original story. This show is full of ventriloquism, magical moments, and lots of fun!
