Welcome to the Furchester Hotel, a fun place run by a family of friendly monsters! In this story, we meet the Veggietones, a musical group that loves to make people happy with their songs. Let’s see how they learn to understand what the hotel guests need and how music can make everyone smile.
At the Furchester Hotel, Funella, the cheerful hotel manager, has exciting news. The Veggietones are coming to perform! Everyone is thrilled to hear their lively music. But soon, they face a challenge. The Veggietones’ singing is so loud that it wakes up Mr. Harvey P. Dow, who was trying to sleep, and interrupts Miss Gator’s relaxing bath. Oh no! This shows us how important it is to think about what others need, especially when they want to relax.
The Veggietones start singing their happy songs, but not everyone is happy. Some guests are upset because they can’t rest. The Furchester family realizes they need to find a way to keep everyone happy, as their hotel is all about making guests feel good.
The Furchester family gets together to solve the problem. Cookie Monster thinks giving the Veggietones cookies might help, but Furgus has a better idea. He suggests that the Veggietones sing in the hotel lift! This way, they can sing without bothering the guests who want peace and quiet.
The Veggietones start singing in the lift, turning a simple elevator ride into a fun show! Guests who ride the lift are surprised and delighted. It’s a great example of how being creative can solve problems. But soon, so many guests want to join the fun that the lift becomes too crowded!
Phoebe, one of the Furchester family members, has a smart idea. They need a bigger space for the Veggietones to perform so everyone can enjoy the music. This shows how important it is to think of new ideas and be flexible.
With the Furchester family’s help, the Veggietones finally perform in a big space where all the guests can enjoy their music. The room is filled with joy as everyone sings along and cheers. It’s a wonderful and happy time for everyone!
This story at the Furchester Hotel teaches us about being kind, creative, and how music can bring people together. By understanding what their guests needed and finding clever solutions, the Furchester family made sure everyone had a great time. The Veggietones’ music reminds us that making everyone feel included and happy is very important!
Sound Detective: Go on a sound adventure in your home or classroom! Listen carefully and try to find three different sounds that you hear. Are they loud or quiet? Discuss with a friend or family member how these sounds make you feel. Can you think of a way to make a loud sound quieter, just like the Furchester family did with the Veggietones?
Creative Problem Solving: Imagine you are at the Furchester Hotel and you need to find a new place for the Veggietones to perform. Draw a picture of your idea. Where would you have them sing so everyone can enjoy the music without disturbing others? Share your drawing with the class and explain your idea.
Music and Mood: Think about a time when music made you feel happy or calm. Share your experience with a classmate. Then, create a simple musical instrument using items like a box, rubber bands, or a bottle with rice. Play your instrument and see how it changes the way you feel. Does it make you want to dance or relax?
