about

Three story selections, written and performed by Diane Edgecomb, are appropriate for children ages 4-8 and for a family audience. 'Pattysaurus' is an original family fable about sibling rivalry and dinosaur mania, in which Patty who always wants "MOOORREEE!!" dino-toys and who believes all dinosaurs in the world are "MIINNEE!!", becomes so obsessed that she turns into a giant sauropod herself.'The Old Apple Tree’s a lyrical tale about the greatest treasure the old apple tree can give. The song of the wind asks three different children to see if they can find the gift.’Princess Firefly' concludes the tape with a light-hearted adaptation of a Japanese folktale which tells of the origin of the fireflies. Princess Firefly sends her suitors (among them Mosquito, Gnat and June Bug) on a quest for the light of the stars. The one whose light matches her own will be her choice for a mate. Each of the stories is accompanied by music on Celtic harp and/or synthesizer.
