FTF performers bring to life selections from award winning children's authors. Music, mime, acting, comedy, and costumes enhance each story. This is a great program for students to become involved in the reading process. Students will race to the library for more books by these children's authors! Program may include selections from A Terrible Day by Patricia Reilly Giff where a child's bad day becomes a good day. Three great stories by number one children's author Judith Viorst: Rosie and Michael, about two children that discover the true meaning of friendship; The Tenth Good Thing about Barney, a child's story of acceptance and hope; and Lizzy Petufsky, a love poem from the fourth grade. Other selections include Jack Prelutsky's Pancakes a story about a school cafeteria cook that recites poetry about pancakes and James Howe's The Day the Teacher went Bananas.
This show is available November 10 - December 19, 2008 for in-school performances.
