Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 2. Minimum total without doubling = 26. No chorus. A narrator and (up to) 25 children.

Music | The producer's copy of the script includes suggestions for up to eight songs. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
Style | One-act performance piece for young children. |
