Eel for One and One for Eel! - Adventure Stories for Kids
From swashbuckling swordplay to good deed doing, our Folktale Forest friends are having a rousting adventure as the “Three Hedgeketeers.” But what started out as a rollicking good time by the lake has turned into a sinister soaking splash fight! Will hot tempers ruin the fun? Or will their "all for one, and one for all" oath to each other ultimately save the day?
SYNOPSIS: What happens when three brave hedgeketeers face their archnemesis by the lake? Find out as we join Jonathan, Redge and Rodge on a wild adventure, helping friends like Bobby the Beetle and Sven the Swan, and standing up to the bully Moray-eel-arty who wants to claim the lake as his own. Will our heroic trio prevail or will Moray-eel-arty's antics rule the day?
Hold onto your hats, because the adventure doesn't stop there! Our daring hedgeketeers unexpectedly form a truce with the villainous Moray-eel-arty, allowing him to join their game and explore the mystical Folktale Forest together. As we follow their journey, you'll learn valuable lessons about friendship, understanding, and the power of unity. So grab your sword, muster your courage, and join us in proclaiming, "Eel for One and One for Eel!"
PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This original tale takes young listeners into the Dorktales version of a Three Musketeers story. One of the characters resorts to being mean when they feel left out of a day of fun but has the opportunity to express their feelings. There's a lesson in the power of being inclusive and inviting others to join in the fun.
