To share or not to share? That’s a tough question for Cow
and Mouse in Galapagos Puppets’ funny farm fable, “Cow and Mouse’s Picnic.” And, in “Mathilda’s Bath,” Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and Mathilda answer the tough
question of whether or not to take a bath. Margaret Moody of Galapagos Puppets
brings the stories to the small stage with lots of animals and barnyard humor.
Best for families with children ages three and up.
