Get to Know Mr. Taxi and his Passengers!
Keithus Aurelius
Well, Mr. Taxi’s name is actually Keithus Aurelius … but everyone just calls him Mr. Taxi (because his name is kind of hard to pronounce!) He wants to do everything he can to make his passengers happy! Do you like to make others happy too? He is always reading about places in the world that he wants to visit and tries to find those places on his maps! Do you have places you’d like to go? Can you find and mark them on a map?
Maestro Finn
In the deep blue sea, under twinkling lights, a giant whale named Maestro Finn is getting ready for his grand performance as the musical conductor in one of the oceans’ finest shows!
With his slick tuxedo and dapper bow tie, he looks so fancy – like a whale at a wedding! He’s ready to lead the seahorses, trumpet fish, and octopi (octopuses) in a cascade of sound-but there’s just one teeny, tiny problem …
Oh no! Maestro Finn has forgotten his baton! He examines his music book, practices his conducting, straightens up his bow tie, and checks in with his performers … dun-dun-duuun … he realizes that is baton is nowhere to be found! How will he conduct music without it? What do you think will happen?
Get ready for a show you won’t forget – but a baton, you might!

Pip!
