Blossom the Clown's Rainy Day Or Any Day Fun Stuff Video: Fun With Desert Critters

Designed to "beat the blues" of a rainy day by encouraging children to move their bodies and use their imaginations, this video combines exercise with an introduction to the desert and its critters. Blossom the Clown leads the adventure which includes stretching like a rabbit, and imitating the desert tortoise, the snake and other animals. Cathi Safari shows off her collection of exotic pets which includes a tarantula, a scorpion and a black-bearded dragon jigsaw from Australia. Tim the Song Salesman drops by for a lively " Endangered Species Rag," while Les the Storyteller rounds out the show with Native American tales. Special visual effects keep the transitions lively and smooth, with solid production values. Recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (C. Dratch-Kovler)
