Book and CD – The Adventures of Uffe the Gnome – four seasonal tales
Four seasonal tales in verse with vivid imagery guide the young in dynamic movement as they listen and move with the characters in the story.
Uffe, (pronounced “Oofah”) lives underground, deep in the forest, helping the plants and trees grow strong and healthy. He’s a busy fellow, finding himself invited to Festivals, searching for a magical tree, or just following a drop of melted snow to see where it goes. No matter the peril, Uffe always manages to prevail and return to his snug home, safe and sound. These four seasonal stories are told in vivid rhythm and rhyme, with line drawings suitable for coloring. Originally created for large-group movement extravaganzas or children’s circuses, the stories are full of opportunities for children to act out the movements of crawling, climbing, jumping, twirling, flying, balancing, working together, or just daydreaming. For ages 3 – 7. By Valerie Baadh and Michael Garrett. 88 pages.
A CD of the four stories, narrated by the authors, is now included in each book
