Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals
Music by Marion Christie and Lyrics by Allan Dunn
For children aged 5-8

Follow Puffy the steamboat across the five canals of Scotland – like most families, each one is different: Caledonian is the longest; Crinan the most beautiful; Monklands the hardest-working; Union the fastest; and Forth and Clyde the wisest. Can an ordinary little puffer boat make them see each other’s value – and their own? Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals is an educational, exciting, and informative adventure packed with audience interaction and featuring the bravest, boldest little boat you ever did meet!
