Hop aboard the Pea Green Boat as it sets sail for merry old England. You'll meet Maid Marian, Robin Hood, Little John, Will Scarlet, and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. You'll hear "Blind Archie" hit the bull's-eye during an archery tournament and cheer for Robin Hood as he rescues Maid Marion from the Sheriff's castle. And while you listen, we invite you to draw the pictures you see in your imagination.
Send your drawings to: Rodeo Radio Theater, c/0 Pea Green Boat, MTPR, the University of Montana, Missoula, MT, 59812. Or email them to annie.garde@mtpr.org. Selected images will be featured on our website or Facebook page.
After "Let's Draw: The Velveteen Rabbit" aired, we received drawings from listeners as far away as Poland! And here's one from a Montana listener: Amelia (age 5).
