Follow the next adventure of Timothy and his pet parrot, Carolina. Tim still loved the enchanted wood and the wonderful flowers, plants and animals it held. He marveled at the beautiful girl, Amy, who had become his friend. He had become strong and intelligent since his discovery and was no longer the weakling his parents had known from birth. As he grew stronger, his parents felt that he should attend school rather than remain at home but that in itself posed a problem. Tim didn't know he was about to embark on another adventure but this time miles away from home in Edinburgh with his Aunt Thora. Would he settle at school? Would he take Carolina with him on a big adventure to Barbados as he promised himself? Could he find the girl of his dreams and make his vision a reality or would that be a step too far?

The purpose of this project was to examine the selection and performance of high quality standard choral literature for children. A survey was sent to seven choral conductors from around the country. The survey asked what qualities these conductors looked for in choral literature, and which five pieces are their top choices. In addition to this survey, a number of children's choral programs were consulted in order to create a comprehensive list of often-performed works. Upon review of the list, two pieces were chosen for performance: I Bough Me a Cat, arranged by Sally Albrecht and Will You Teach Me? by Victor Johnson. The subjects were 60 4th and 5th grade students who had auditioned for an after-school choral/recorder ensemble. The pieces were rehearsed once a week from January through April. The rehearsal was designed to closely resemble a high-level choral rehearsal, in order to prepare students for middle and high school choral work. Lesson plans were created for each week, and the rehearsals coincided with the actual rehearsal times of an elementary choir.
