Learning and performing arts CDs included in the books or on our CalabashBooks.com website help children expand their understanding of the endangered animals, environments and cultures of the Pacific Rim.

When The Cassowary Pooped, A Tale of New Guinea, written by Tamara Montgomery and illustrated by Joseph D. Dodd, debuted as a play for children aged 4 to 8 at Kennedy Theatre on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus in Honolulu on September 28. Young audiences from schools around the island of Oahu who attended during the following week were delighted with the antics of the Cassowary and the colorful story. The play, which was adapted
for the stage by Dr. Montgomery who was also the director, was a great hit, as was the book. Colorful sets designed by Joseph D. Dodd included trees that "grew" on stage whenever the hungry Cassowary pooped.
