Interactive Storytime with Jonathan Kruk: Tues, Dec 2 @ 4pm
Listen and step into a fairy tale of an enchanting bird and a quest to break a spell of loneliness. Jonathan Kruk, known for his dramatic solo shows of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and A Christmas Carol will engage families with elementary school-aged kids tomorrow, Dec 2 from 4:00-5:30pm.
He will give a lively reading of his book, The Magical, Wonderful Bul Bul Bird, then invite children to don masks to play a part, acting out this enthralling fairy tale with a surprise ending. The book, masterfully illustrated by Rob Bridges, is inspired by the golden
age of children's books, when fairy tale adventures moved young readers.
Purchase a copy of the book Kirkus Reviews says is, “A charming, beautifully illustrated yarn that encourages children and adults alike to find their voices.” ―Kirkus Reviews.
