“The kids loved counting the legs and the live bugs. Everyone had a great time! Thanks!”
Michaela Watson, Oak Forest Library.“It [Scales & Tails] was a smash Hit! The audience of children and adults thoroughly enjoyed the different animals. It is great to see so many snake books checked out after a program. Your generosity in making such high quality shows available to the library’s young audiences is greatly appreciated.”
