In the Sea of Japan, a fisherman catches a magic fish. In return for letting the fish go free, he is granted three magic wishes. The fisherman and his wife think they will always be happy once their wishes come true, but sometimes what we wish for is not what we need. When greed gets in the way, "Once upon a time" might not lead to "happy ever after!"

In addition to traditional Japanese Mask Puppets, the performance features a second "Boat" stage that sails out into the audience. This popular fairytale has been retold and adapted by cultures around the world. After the show, the audience members make an Origami fish puppet to take home.

Hello! I got this forward and wanted to post it here about a CD I plan on using for the summer. - Lisa

I wanted to write you a quick note to tell you an exciting project we developed for Youth Librarians to make a splash this summer. It's a CD of over 20 songs and puppet skits called, "Splish Splash"!

It is the #1 Summer Reading Program CD in America and already in it's 3rd pressing!!

You'll get your CD within 2 or 3 days of placing your order, so there's still plenty of time to use it this summer.

My wife is a librarian turned teacher, and I also teach. All of the songs we wrote to be fun, highly-interactive and great to use with preschool and elementary age kids. Every track on the "Splish Splash" CD promotes reading, having fun at the library, and includes lots of wet and wild, splishy-splashy, water-related fun! Just take a look at a few of the song titles on this incredible new CD...

Hello, Florida librarians!

Curious Moon Puppets' shadow puppet production of Fish 'n' Ships will really make a splash at your library this summer. More information can be found here:  http://www.curiousmoon.com/Shows.asp?ID=9

A brief description follows:

No one has ever been able to solve the mystery of what is haunting the old, sunken pirate ship. And none of the other fish in school believes that amateur detective Fry can solve the mystery either. With encouragement from the audience, and armed with his Deepwater Detective badge and Ocean Floor Trail Guide, Fry sets out on a journey across the ocean to find the ship and what is haunting it. 

This shadow puppet show is presented using an overhead projector and includes water effects, scrolling scenery, shadow puppet tricks of the trade, and over 20 colorful puppets. More than just a puppet show, "Fish ’n’ Ships" is a sing along extravaganza of old favorites and some new songs that everyone will enjoy learning.
