Emma and the Aardvarks

A children's play (fable) about climate change and endangered creatures. Two sister Aardvarks arrive in the Fabled Forest by accident. Their travel agent, Time Portals to Your Next Adventure, malfunctions and instead of Australia, they are plopped down in Cheets' clearing in the forest. Here they meet Donald, the fairie, Cheets, the elf, Emma, the farm-girl, Patsy, the banana spider and all the creatures that inhabit the mystical forest. Agnes and Annie are so ugly they're cute. With their jaunty hats atop their weird heads, with their rabbit-like ears and short elephant type snouts, Emma and Donald are entranced. They set about helping the two aardvarks to complete their trip to Australia while helping other endangered species. But first the Portal must be repaired so it operates correctly. The Aardvarks are joined by the Painted Wild Dogs both are on the endangered species list. It is a dangerous lifestyle. In this fable children learn more about climate change, destroying habitat and about other endangered species and how we humans can help to protect them. The story teaches gentle lessons about climate change and endangered species. Ages: 3--12
