The Mossy Bottom Menagerie is the first in a series of stories translated from the ancient journals of Harmonious Toad. In this particular episode, we follow the menagerie through the full cycle of the strawberry moon, also known as the month of June. Each chapter details their adventure during one moon phase (that’s three and one half days to us humans) while traveling between musical engagements. During the journey, we follow our troupe as they leave the relative safety of their home, Picnic Pond, to circumnavigate the Gollyswamp Wetland. With the aide of the Interspecies Cooperation League, we find them floating down creeks with treacherous whirlpools, crossing prairies set afire by lightening, battling against a flash flood, evading and escaping various predators, crossing a mighty river, and battling the monster of Tall Rock Mountain in their life-or-death struggle for the show to go on.
