Young imaginations run wild when the subject is outer space. That's justone reason this is the perfect K-4 musical for this spring...or any oth er time of year.

Just then, the Bad Cat threatens a baby earth mouse and a chase ensures. When the space mice join in to scare off the cat, the earth mice realize that they were wrong about their strange new firends, and they learn a valuable lesson about acceptance.
