Saving the environment is serious global business, but Andy manages to bring the issue closer to home with his usual comic flair. With his friend Johnny, he wades down the local creek all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, learning important lessons along the way about pollution, recycling, the food chain and the interdependence of all living things. Expect to encounter a piece of talking fruit, a cricket that lives in the kudzu and bullfrog tadpoles yearning to break free from a pickle jar. Warning: Miss Shirley, the “Mad” preschool teacher, may put in an appearance.

"A fiendishly clever union of Tom Lehrer's topicality... cut with Bobby McFerrin-style mouth music... good, quirky fun." ~ The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
