Ecology, Musical Show
Under the Blue Blue Sea
Great for student performances
Penelope uses it as the basis of her interactive ecology puppet
show,
"Under the Blue Blue Sea."
Costume and or mask may also be used.
The story is a mermaid and girl make
wishes at the same time,
magically the girl finds herself a mermaid under the sea.
She is wondering if she might have been
a little bit rash, asking;
What do mermaids eat
and what do mermaids wear?
And how often do they need to go up and breath some air?
And if they see a shark how fast can mermaids swim
and where'd you say we'd meet to trade back again?
She meets many animals who tell
her about the
need to care for the ocean, particularly Scar the shark
and Crash the Turtle, who is on trash patrol.
with the help of a genie's lamp the girl
gets to
return home, vowing to protect our oceans.
Fun
Pages to color and thanks to Suzanne Ross greatEcology puzzles

The story carries on throughout
the cd where the little girl/mermaid (listener) learns a different
lesson along the way about ecology from the various creatures
in the ocean she meets. "Won't you miss the golden sand
below you, the crash of the waves on the shore" the little
girl/mermaid sings in "Watch What You Wish For". Performing
the voices of all the diverse characters introduced throughout
the storyline, Penelope is a delight conjuring up "Crash
the Turtle" who heads up the ocean's "Trash Patrol" or "Crabby
the Crab", or "Pearl the Oyster" or "Scar
the Shark", each telling the little girl/mermaid their thoughts
on what we're doing to their world, our world, "Under the
Blue Blue Sea."

Earth Store for this and other ecology

Recommendations for Penelope's
"Ocean Ecology Album, filled with
songs sometimes funny, sometimes lyrical,
making us joyfully aware
Of our need to protect
our oceans. "
"You are going to love
Scar the shark, crash the turtle
and the many other animals raise their
voices in a call to be guardians of our oceans.
This artist knows how to reach the
hearts of children of all ages with her imaginative, storytelling
compositions, blending folk, blues and roots styles with 16 songs
on her new cd, "Under the Blue Blue Sea."
The music production is pure magical
simplicity featuring Penelope's voice and faithful "Willie
Nelson strumming guitar" as her only companions on this recording.
What makes "Under the Blue Blue Sea" standout from other
children's music is it's brilliant way of blending a child's fairytale
dream with the very adult reality of global warming, trash in the
oceans and pollution in our air.
The accompanying Lyric and Coloring
Book is complimented by the drawings and artwork of Penelope with
puzzles by Suzanne Ross. Penelope is the narrator/singer who tells
the story of a young girl who is asked to trade places with a mermaid,
Mi ra, in "Mermaid Song". "Wouldn't it be cool,
wouldn't it be fine, if we could trade places, some of the time?...Ride
on a dolphin, meet all my friends, find pirate's treasure then
trade back again?"
The track, "Guardians of the
Earth", says more for ecology awareness in 2 minutes then
our leaders in government have said or done to remedy issues in
the past 20 years. "It seems that people have been messin'
with our planet, taking trees, air, water, all our land for granted." Toni
Kock,
If you have someone who is young
at heart, who likes to paint or color or dream while they listen
to music they can hum along or sing to, learn positive lessons
to share with others, or just plain relax in solitude, then "Under
the Blue Blue Sea" would be a delightful addition to your
library.
Toni Koch, Review from Songsalive
and Warrior Girl Records
