New Literature Live! Puppet Show: Chicken Big

0 comments


Bawk! It’s an elephant! It’s an umbrella! No, it’s a … chicken?! Join Literature LIVE! to see how the chickens in this coop make room for a giant new friend in a less-than-traditional puppet show production of Austin author Keith Graves’ wonderful book Chicken Big! Meet the author after the March 11, 2015 show at the Hampton Branch at Oak Hill and catch the finale on April 4, 2015 at this year’s Funky Chicken Coop Tour Headquarters at Sunshine Community Gardens! 


This show is recommended for ages 4 and up. All Austin Public Library programs are free and open to the public.
