Our puppets are back!

Grab a snack and settle in for our August Puppet Show Extravaganza. The animals of the forest discover a wonderful book and try it out as a tent, a hat, and more. Will they ever discover what a book is really for?

You can find part two - Biggest Pretties Rose - and July's virtual tour on our Youtube channel.
