In a beautiful kingdom by the sea,
lived a people to whom music and the arts were the most important thing in the land...
Everything beautiful in their world! Oh, they were very happy!

All was blessed indeed,
until one day...
the evil sorcerer who lived in the craggy depths, in the damp dark cave at the bottom of the cliff at the edge of the kingdom, finally had enough of all the music and laughter in this musical kingdom.

For, if the truth be told...
the music he heard coming from the kingdom made his tummy ache.

"Someday, someday,"
he would cry...
"I'll make their instrument strings go plunk and break!"

"I'll turn their melodious voices to gravely rasps!" he would seethe.

"But how to do it?" the old sorcerer mused.

Will the sorcerer be successful?...
Or will music "Save the Day?"

Sometimes children need a little help making the adjustment
when someone they love very much, such as a grandparent,
goes through life changes...

This wonderful story shows
how love, concern, flexibility, patience,
and the spontaneity of children
help a grandfather to deal with his progression of care.

Why is this such a wonderful story for children?
The very crux of this tale is that it is the faith, innocence and energy of youth that ultimately persuades our "grumpy grandpa" to "jump back into life," after a bit of a rocky start in a new life at a nursing home.

Grandparents will enjoy explaining to their grandchildren
that the songs in the accompanying singalong were the songs they used to sing with their own parents
when they were children.

This story is delightful, and the singalong is great fun!

Each night, Uncle Charlie the Field Mouse tells the little field mice who are yet too young to work in the fields of the wonderful corn concerts
and the beautiful Song of the Corn,
as they sit by Aunt Beatrice Mouse's fireside before bedtime. He sings in his beautiful Irish Tenor Voice, the Song that Autumn Corn sings to the grown mice after their day of gathering the scraps from the farmer's field.

Then one day, rumors
begin to circulate
of a big change coming to the farm.
Ominous whisperings frighten Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Charlie.
They try to keep talk of something new called a strip-mall, and the possible sale of the farm from the ears of the little mice.

Could the beautiful way of life
the mice an all on the farm have known and loved
be coming to an end?

What is to become of them all?
The animals gather together and cooperate like never before,
and try to decide what to do,
as the familiar singing of the corn fills the autumn air.

When a young boy, who has
always been raised to believe
he is special and very good
receives some teasing at
school over his red hair,
it is an opportunity for learning
some tough lessons about
the nature of the world.

Through learning to trust
wisdom from his mother
and father, and embracing
his own fortitude, our young
protagonist, Eddie, comes
to truly understand the words
of his beloved grandmother,
who always said, 'The Lord works
in mysterious ways!"
In the past, he hadn't really
understood what she meant
when she said this (and she
said it quite often!) But now,
when he thinks about his trouble
with the boys at school who
call him "Carrot-Top," and how a
special Show and Tell and a
beloved, big red dog have helped
him to make friends, he thinks
maybe he understands just a little
of what his grandmother meant.
