About Mega, Mighty Minibeasts
From the best-selling team that brought you There’s A Sunflower In My Supper! and Hats Off! comes this brand-new musical for your 3-7s.
THE SONGS
Easy to learn and easy to love, these songs are filled with charm and quirk, as well as including some fabulous facts about different minibeasts and what they’re like! There’s a teamwork song of the ants, a slurping, burping snail song and a mega finale (and more!).
THE STORY
Ramble the centipede is a librarian who travels across the forest floor lending books to her friends, only one day she comes across a rather shocking book new in to the library. The A-Z Of Beasts reveals that Ramble and her friends are not the big burly beasts they thought they were and that actually, technically, they’re minibeasts! Insulted and outraged, they go on an adventure to find the professor who wrote the book, hoping he’ll explain himself... there must be some kind of mistake! Eventually all the minibeasts come to learn how important they are – even though they may be small, they’re strong, tough, smart, mega, mighty minibeasts!
THE EXTRAS
As well as including Makaton signing videos for each song in collaboration with Singing Hands, we're so excited to be including a minibeast song trail and minibeast profiles for you to extend your fun into the classroom with – AND you can colour them in! We've also got a dance video with mini but mightily effective actions, as well as a step-by-step guide on bringing your minibeast costumes to life!
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a package that includes an eSongbook.

There are speaking parts for 24 children (not including the narrator part), but these can be increased to 60+ by splitting the narrator’s lines into many speaking parts and splitting the 10 minibeast speaking parts into 18, with each minibeast taking a line each. Have as many extra non-speaking minibeasts and ants as you like.
If you have a small cast, the 24 speaking parts can easily be decreased to 14 by using the following suggestions:
- Just have four minibeasts, instead of Minibeasts 1-10, and split the lines accordingly
- Just have four ants and split the lines accordingly
