TALES & TAILS LIVE ANIMALS @ THE LIBRARY
Saturday, August 28
3:30 - 4:30 p.m.
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 animals to provide a fascinating and unforgettable show!
