ABOUT
THE SHOW:
This
is Magpie Puppets newest performance! The story is adapted from an African tale
from Malawi. Leopard is always bullying and frightening smaller animals until
Rabbit turns the tables on her with the help of the jungle’s two largest
beasts, Elephant and Rhinoceros. The audience learns, along with Leopard, that
cooperation works better than intimidation. The show features hand puppets, plus original music by Alison Reid!
A
GREAT LESSON:
What
a great lesson to learn! You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
You and your children will be greatly entertained well also reinforcing the wonderful
lesson of teamwork.
