Literature LIVE! presents Chicken Big — a new, free puppet show for families that will be performed at various branches of the Austin Public Library this winter and spring. Kids will enjoy this less-than-traditional puppet show production of Austin author Keith Graves’ children’s book, Chicken Big. See how the chickens in the coop make room for a giant new friend in this puppet show geared towards kids ages 4 and up.
You can meet the author after the show on Wednesday, Mar. 11 at the Hampton Branch at Oak Hill. You can also catch a special finale on Saturday, Apr. 4 at this year’s Funky Chicken Coop Tour Headquarters at Sunshine Community Gardens! All Library programs are free and open to the public. For more information please call 512-974-7400.
