Do you like the story of 'Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears' written by Verna Aardema? Click Here to Listen... This track is an excerpt from the sound track of an 'Ocean Rudee Imagination TravelKit'. In this episode, Cap'n Whaley, Roland Whaley, SalliJane, Ocean Rudee and Sandollar meet in a local park (very much by accident due to the escape of Roland's high-flying kite). It turns out to be the perfect day for Cap'n Whaley's Imagination Travelin' rendition of Verna Aardema's Caldecott Award-winning West African folktale: 'Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears' (5:00 in Length - .mp3 file

Would you like to listen to a few samples of some other stories that will be on the new series? Click Here to Listen... These excerpts are from a typical 30-minute 'Ocean Rudee & Company' program intended for public radio broadcast. In this episode, Barnacle Babs and Gus Logan stop by the Lighthouse for a visit with Ocean Rudee. Barnacle Babs delivers a seafood salad and Gus Logan drops off some fresh vegetables and goats (for landscape maintenance purposes). Upon their arrival Ocean Rudee is nowhere to be found. But it doesn't take them long to locate him and Imagination Travelin' adventures soon follow through - 'Too Much Noise' by Ann McGovern, 'The Dream' by Arnold Lobel and 'The Haunted Churchbell' by Barbara Ninde Byfield. (Each episode of this serial drama will include 2 or 3 read-aloud renditions of popular children's literature. The actual run time of the program will be 26-minutes, with 4-minutes of time available in each show for underwriting sponsorship credits and/or Public Service Announcements.)
