Baby Beet and the Doggie Toy, a children's monologue
In this 1-minute comedic/dramatic children’s monologue, the adorable Baby Beet explains to a group of root vegetables passing by why she is on this patch of soil all by herself. She has been following the dog, waiting to grab any treasure he digs up, which she hopes will comfort her while she misses her Beet family.
This monologue is from the play, THE UNDERGROUND ADVENTURES OF A CARROT AND POTATO.
This monologue is from the full-length children’s play, THE UNDERGROUND ADVENTURES OF A CARROT AND POTATO.
About the play, The Underground Adventures of a Carrot and Potato:
Vegetables are only supposed to do two things: grow where they’re planted and keep to their own kind. But when a dancing carrot meets a groove-loving potato, their new forbidden friendship inspires them to embark on a quest to change the rules of their stodgy garden society. Their journey won’t be easy, of course, but luckily, our duo is joined by a ragtag team of vegetables with their own reasons to shake up the norm. Can they work together to overcome hungry bugs out to eat them, a dangerously playful dog and that pesky band of mean carrots on the hunt to stop them?

About the monologue, Baby Beet and the Doggie Toy:
Root vegetables on a journey have just discovered Baby Beet all alone in an abandoned garden. She is an adorable, social, cheerful beet, even though she has experienced the loss of her beet family. She is looking for a new family to join and hopeful to join their group. In the monologue, she tells the other vegetables why she is there: she followed the sound of the dog bark and is waiting to see if it will dig up another treasure, like the donut-shaped dog toy it dug up yesterday, which she loves. She is hopeful the brightly colored dog toys will make her feel happy for a moment, and not miss her family as much.
