“Zoner and the Drip” is an entertaining show about the importance of saving water in the Sonoran desert. It’s filled with fun, music, and laughter. Recommended for Kindergarten to Grade 3.
Zoner and the Drip is about a newcomer to Arizona. Zoner is not used to the climate and doesn’t understand that some things need to change now that he lives in a desert. He makes lots of bad choices while using water, including leaving his faucet running. From that running faucet, out pops Drip, a drop of water who is upset that Zoner is wasting so much water. Drip takes Zoner on a tour of the desert. He meets a rapping Saguaro Cactus, a bouncy Kangaroo Rat, and a very sick Mesquite Tree. Zoner learns from these desert plant and animals how they have all learned to adapt to survive in the desert. Drip then takes Zoner back home where he learns how to save water and adapt to his new desert home.
