The
Creation
The Litter Critter Creation is a children’s book written in rhyme, which is the starting point of the Litter Critter story, a story that will reach people of all ages. The Litter Critter Creation tells of how the Angel of Imagination comes to call on Faith Goodwin,, a mother of two whose family is suddenly beset by economic hardship. The Angel of Imagination shows Faith how to unleash her own creative powers, and, with the help of a “magic” glue gun, the Litter Critters are born. The Litter Critters introduce themselves and tell Faith and her children, Jimmy, aged 12, and Judy, aged 10, about their mission to help kids (and adults) band together to help clean up the Earth and to find and fight the Big Bad Pollutors.

A Reality/Animated Television Series for Kids
Treatment for Crittermother’s Clubhouse
The premise of Crittermother’s Clubhouse is to educate and involve kids and the audience in environmental concerns while entertaining them through music and adventure. On the show we are introduced to the world of the “Crittermother,” Patti Lee Pippen, and her workshop. It’s a magical world of green entertainment designed to introduce kids to the idea of creating art from trash. This is accomplished using animation as a tool for education and fun.
In the opening of the show, the Crittermother becomes an animated character. Through Crittermother’s Clubhouse, the animated band, The CleanUp Crew is introduced. The CleanUp Crew has been mirrored with real-life teens. These teenagers also act as mentors to the smaller children on the show, helping and teaching as they, themselves, learn about nurturing. There is music galore (new, original songs every week played by the Band), arts and crafts, environmental lessons, creativity, and camaraderie.
In the series the kids will participate in projects inside and outside of Crittermother’s Clubhouse.

Meet the Characters
Arabella, the “girl singer for the Litter Critter Band , the CleanUp Crew, loves to dance and can really belt out a song. She has a wicked sense of humor and a bawdy laugh.
Rappin’ Spike Steele, the drummer for the CleanUp Crew, is the inventor of Eco-rap. He has high-voltage energy and is continuously moving and speaking in rhyme, making up songs as he goes.
Chuck Yodell, the male singer and harmonica player for the CleanUp Crew, always interjects bits of song into his conversations. He has a tender heart and gets all broken up over sad things like hurt animals and damage to Nature.
Lucy Logic, the other “girl” singer for the CleanUp Crew, is loquacious, effervescent and fun. She is a brilliant mathematician and computer whiz, and she plays keyboards.
Jake Skate, the guitar player for the CleanUp Crew, is very cool and always knows what’s “happening.” He carries his guitar strapped to his back and can ride the board and paly guitar at the same time.
Wakantanka, the bass player for the CleanUp Crew, is wise and kind and reveres all Nature. He is very well-spoken but never talks unnecessarily. He has a dry sense of humor and a hearty laugh.
