"Stinkbug Bugaloo" is a one-person variety show co-created with the audience in celebration of bugs. The program entertains all ages with a mix of songs and folktales led by Maichack, and includes audience-participants in gorgeous headdresses, acting out a funny Anansi story. See dangerous yams-yes, yams!-chase Mr. Tiger. There's a really funny stinkbug/insect imitation dance by kids, "Stinkbug, stinkbug, stinkbug bugaloo, the dance named for an insect that makes you say, 'P.U.'" a terrific bee, flea, fly poem called "Combinations," by Mary Ann Hoberman, even silly bug jokes. Listeners young to old have been entranced by the Greek myth of the world's first spider, Arachne.

Check out the bugs at the Montreal Insectarium, a very cool museum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!
