Mr. Squidwerd is a lively and delightful bossa nova flavored work for elementary school students. Written for six players, each representing an arm of the famous octopus from the television show Sponge Bob Square Pants. All of the parts may be performed with multiple players, adding to the flexibility and enjoyment of all the teachers classroom students. The adding of recorders or whistles is a nice touch since the character has been known to play the clarinet, and at least once has swallowed a whistle.
