NOTE: 5/22/2024
I was recently asked to create an insect theme program. After going through my repertoire for possibilities, I thought it would be fun to search around for insect songs I may have missed. That’s when I remembered Twiddlebugs from Sesame Street. Sesame Street has songs for all its characters, it felt safe to assume Twiddlebugs has some songs. Weirdly, I couldn’t find any! But the searching did uncover the Sesame Street book TWIDDLEBUG FUN. Written in rhyme with cute illustrations and a terrific eco-friendly message, my brain sang a tune while reading it. I got out my iPhone voice recorder and sang out what was in my head. Then, I wrote out the lyrics and paired them with ukulele chords.

I had scanned the book because it was in pretty bad condition, then printed the images/lyrics to create a Sing Along poster to create a visual representation of the song for when we sing along accompanied by ukulele.

It’s gonna be a fun addition to Sing Books repertoire and I especially look forward to sharing it during the insect theme Sing Books program.
