"Snoozles"

The Snuggle Hound!

        In the 90's, an old friend asked me to contribute a character to a "gang of four" he was promoting --  Cartoon characters, tapes and CD's, maybe a TV series?

        Along with another friend, he'd already created "Skit Skat" (a hip-cat), "Cory Crocodile", and "Daphne Dolphin".  I pitched in with "Snoozles"... and a half-hour "pilot" script for "The Zoonies!"

        He sold some tapes and CD's, but it didn't go much further, and I'd nearly forgotten about Snoozles, who's been in deep slumber for over a decade.  

        But it's time to resurrect The Snuggle Hound.  There's a whole new generation of toddlers out there who desperately need naps (along with their overwhelmed and exhausted parental units!)

        Who's Snoozles?  He's an English Bloodhound (from a Royal Family) who speaks in a soft, gentle, high-pitched, English accent, and tells bedtime stories... and sings songs... for a half-hour.  

        If you have kids, ages two to six, then you NEED a CD... for your own mental health.  Guaranteed for a thousand zzzzz'z.  Listen to the first three minutes.

Intro & Snoozles' Song  

 

A story about Grandma leads into the next song.  Here's one of the four verses.

Grandma's House               

Snoozles jumps aboard a railroad car for an adventure, then gets sleepy.

A Yawn Comin' On              

 

        Snoozles hops into a laundry basket... with helium balloons tied to it... and takes a ride through the clouds, over mountains and rivers.  This adventure will definitely deliver your kid to Dream Land.  And if you, too, are not completely relaxed and in a state of utter contentment by this point, you may need some "outside help".

        If you're still semi-conscious, listen to the last song. My favorite.  Works for little kids, and big ones, too.

A Dream Come True    

We all have dreams like no one else... Yes, you are one of a kind
Follow your heart, take that first step, or you'll never know what you'll find
People build airplanes and ride a balloon
Jump off a mountain and land on the moon
They had a dream like the world has never seen
And then they had a dream come true.

This world is full of wondrous things, zebras and dolphins and birds
Stories and songs, movies and books, there's so many things you could learn
Put them together in your own special way
Never give up, you could do something great
You'll have a dream like the world has never seen
And then you just might have a dream come true

I know a place where nobody hates, where no hungry babies will cry
Somehow we've learned to live in peace, maybe it's all in my mind
The sky is so blue there, the water so clean
There's still a great forest for our children to see
Mine is a dream like the world has never seen
And yes, I want to have a dream come true
