From the performing company that brought you ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar & other Eric Carle Favourites’, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia returns with Leo Lionni’s exquisite collage of picture books! The three Caldecott Honor books, SWIMMY, FREDERICK & INCH BY INCH, are among Lionni’s most beloved works. Their images are strikingly beautiful, and their texts are whimsical yet wistful.
Swimmy is a tiny insignificant fish in the vast ocean who uses ingenuity to fend off danger. Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, makes everyday life an artful experience. The story of Inch by Inch features a lovable inchworm who is very proud of his facility for measuring absolutely everything, including a robin’s tail, a flamingo’s necks, a toucan’s beak, a heron’s leg and a nightingale’s song.
Dear YY n NN n DD
Mummy's 1st attempt in bringing DD along for a play in theatre setting.
DD, you were quite unwilling to sit still and kept asking for Papa. It was an in-and-out-of-theatre tug of war with you for at least 20 minutes.
It was a good thing we went with Aunt Mich and Zavier as she helped to mind you 2 elder kids while Mummy brought DD out to look for Papa.
Not that you need any minding at all, YY. You were simply too engrossed , as usual.
NN, you didn't enjoy the show much, maybe bcos you were not familiar with the stories, and partly also bcos Mummy was not by your side the whole time.
Overall, quite an ill-prepared experience as Mummy has not exposed the 3 of you to Leo Lionni’s stories at all.
We went Funan for lunch after that, and you 3 had a much more fun time playing at the Wii Booth!. Of course this hi-tech gadget is still a NO NO in our family, until you 3 have learnt how to manage your time sensibly.
Mummy just hope that in time to come, you can appreciate what this means.....
Hugs & Kisses
Mummy
