Crawdads Doodlebugs & Creasy Greens

Doug Elliott
Native Ground Music, February 2001.

If you've ever found yourself wondering how to open your city kid's eyes to the richness and marvel of the American backwoods, here's an easy answer. Naturalist guide Doug Elliott tells stories and sings songs that tickle the funnybones of child and adult alike, with the bonus of teaching respect for nature.

With a light hearted voice, Elliott stomps around Appalachia, Acadiana and places in between, sharing stories in the old tradition. Even a typically restless three-year-old we know was spellbound time and time again by the yarns spun in campfire fashion on this audiotape.

For those who get the shivers just thinking about creepy crawly and flying things, tales like the Native American "Mosquito Story" and the introduction to "Doodlebug Song" could make you think twice about your phobia and see them, as children do, as wonders of the world.

The best time to teach people how to love the Earth is when they're young. With Doug Elliott's talents, it's an education that's more fun and easier to access than you might think.

Fans of the CD and tape can further enrich their back-to-nature time with the companion book by the same name. All of Doug Elliott's award-winning creations are sold by Native Ground Music, purveyors of historic American music and folklore, and are available online.
