Manuelo, the Playing Mantis

One warm summer evening a lonely praying mantis named Manuelo listens to the music of an outdoor concert. Manuelo wishes that he too could make music like the crickets and the katydids. But the instruments he makes dont play. Then Manuelo meets someone who shows him how to fashion a cello using a walnut shell a stick and a special ingredient. Manuelo makes his first true friend and together they create the music they both love.
