STORYBOOK SONGS
(60 mins)


As seen at WNED-TV Kid Fest and the Children's Summer Theatre at Eastern Hills Mall, Matt encourages reading through the power of music. Classic and modern storybook characters are the inspiration for the songs in this program, a great addition to your library event schedule or for school reading/book appreciation programs. Children learn about the positive traits these characters possess, and how to develop these traits in themselves.

For extra fun, combine this program with a character masquerade! And don't forget Children's Book Week: May 11-17, 2009!
