Teachers, Parents, After-School Programmers, Camp Counselors, Librarians, Music & Theater Directors, welcome to THE PLANET EARTH SONGBOOK CD-ROM:  A new repertoire of 67 songs & skits for children, K-5, to play, sing & act-out from the perspective of all forms of life… not just human… animals, insects, flowers, trees, birds… even a rock!

MOTHER EARTH spins into center stage as a singing, dancing character…a ‘POLLUTION-PERSON’ becomes a ‘SOLUTION-PERSON’… human beings choose to be ‘HUMAN-BEANS’ & regrow their EARTHLY ROOTS… an unlikely troupe of DOLPHINS & DAFFODILS & HUMAN-BEANS finds the spotlight to say, in a playful way, “We are all connected.”

Within the CD-ROM you will find printed lyrics, notated music & line drawings to color that suggest costumes & props.  For each song there are comments & ideas for performance.  2 audio CDs, for listening, learning & copying, are included. 

     Keep THE PLANET EARTH SONGBOOK CD-ROM close-at-hand as a resource for supplementary environmental, music & art enrichment material.  You can print out what you want, when you want it.  FUN is the operative word.
