Wanda and Wendall's Fairy Tales
For thousands of years, children everywhere have been entertained and captivated by puppets. Puppets help to bring stories to life for an enriching, yet fun, learning experience. Puppets are also valuable tools for promoting listening skills and vocabulary development. This is a delightful Fairy Tale themed pupped program featuring Wanda the Wacky Witch and Wendall, her pet dragon. Warm and funny, this show is loved by all.
Fairy Tale Animals
Talking animals are a common theme in mythology, folktales, and children's literature. Fictional talking animals often are anthropomorphic, possessing human-like qualities. The usage of animals that speak enables storytellers to combine the basic characteristics of the animal with a human's behavior, to apply metaphor and to entertain children. This program will feature a variety of live mammals, reptiles, and birds to provide a fascinating and unforgettable show. Our live animals presentations typically draw the largest crowds of the summer for the library summer reading programs.
