Little Audrey, in the schoolroom, is sent to the corner stool to memorize Mother Goose rhymes. She falls asleep and dreams that she gets a tour of Mother Goose Land by Mother Goose herself.
KS3/4 idea: The juvenile subject matter makes it unlikely that secondary pupils will identify with this movie. But as an individual moment in the soundtrack, the place where Little Audry goes into her dream (about a third of the way through) is an interesting example of the use of non-diatonic harmony (whole tone chords etc.) to suggest that reality is moving to fantasy. There are also good examples of close-harmony vocals in both the opening titles and when a cow and 2 sheep perform during the fantasy.
