Milo the Magic Mudskipper: A Nursery Rhyme

"Milo, the Magic Mudskipper" is an enchanting nursery rhyme that follows six-year-old siblings Charlie and Daphne on a magical underwater adventure. While crabbing at Mudeford Quay in Dorset, England, the children discover Milo, a talking mudskipper from Australia who has become lost after accidentally boarding a ship that carried him far from his mangrove home.

Milo possesses magical abilities that allow him to share his amphibious powers with the children, enabling them to breathe underwater and embark on a quest to Neptune's palace in the ocean depths. Their mission: to obtain a magical compass that will guide Milo safely home across the vast seas.

The trio faces three challenging trials in Neptune's underwater kingdom: the Riddle Deep, the Trial of Courage, and the Test of Heart. Through these adventures, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, bravery, and selflessness. When faced with choosing between helping Milo or a lost baby whale, they discover that true friendship means putting others' needs first.

Neptune, impressed by their noble hearts, rewards them with multiple magical compasses, ensuring both Milo and the whale can find their way home. The story concludes with Milo's joyful return to Australia and the establishment of a lasting friendship maintained through magical shells that allow the friends to communicate across the oceans.

Written in traditional nursery rhyme style with consistent AABB rhyme schemes, repetitive phrases, and musical rhythm, the tale emphasizes themes of friendship, courage, environmental awareness, and the magic that exists when we help others in need.

The opening music, is a lovely clear female vocal expressing the character of this nursery rhyme runs to nearly four minutes.

The appropriate background flutey music gives a happy atmosphere to the narration, and the closing music is an instrumental version of the same type of genre and instruments as the opening music and runs to about three minutes.
