Bookaboo
Bookaboo is a British children's television series produced by Lucy Goodman of Happy Films and co-directed by Ian Emes. The show features puppets, celebrities, picture books, songs and animation. Lucy Goodman created the show after researching the current global decline in parental reading in the home. Bookaboo is carefully crafted to inspire more children and grown ups to have fun sharing books together. Bookaboo is broadcast on CITV in the United Kingdom, ABC2 in Australia, and CBC in Canada.
Format
"A story a day or I just can't play!" says world famous, drum playing rock puppy, Bookaboo as he flounces off stage.
The rest of the band (Growler on Bass Guitar, Paws on Keyboards) find Bookaboo on the Bookabus, ignoring all stage calls and engaged in the most extraordinary stage avoidance schemes (comedy sketches & songs). Despite their best efforts the band fail to persuade the rock pup back to the stadium. Luckily, a celebrity fan arrives with a picture book filled 'Bookabag' and settles down to share it. Bookaboo is mesmerised and enthralled by the story. It appears to cure his little 'problem'. As the book finishes, Bookaboo gets his rhythm (he calls it his 'Bojo') back. With the celebrity fan cheering him on from the wings, Bookaboo delights the crowds with a stellar canine drum solo. As the episode draws to an end, an electrified stage sign behind Bookaboo lets the grown up audience know: "1000 books per episode are donated to children who need them most"

Still Uneasy
by: PegboyThe other day I said to you
I know what you want to do
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
And I could never compromise
My situation lies
And I would never feel the same
Would you be the blame?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Locked inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when you´re all alone
Hiding what you´re thinking of
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
I could never see my self
Chasing something else
I would never get away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when I´m all alone
Feeling what you´re thinking of
And I could never sit around
Chained to frozen ground
I could never see my self
Playing for something else
And I could never walk away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
