third graders, third graders...what do you see?

we see a big yellow bus ☺

driving us downtown.

we see

 Byham Theator

 where we will watch Treasured Stories!

 mommy, mommy

what do you see?

 I see a little third grader

taking a picture of me :)

this was my first time to visit the Byham Theator.

(they are in dire need of new ceiling paint.)

lovely

and ornate detail

combined with odd cherub like figures

 influenced by greek mythology

give this theater a

"Las Vegas" feel.

 we saw

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's

much-anticipated new production

A Brown Bear, A Caterpillar And A Moon: Treasured Stories

(three of Eric Carle's most beloved tales.). 

We give them 5 big yellow stars

for great entertainment

WHAT an amAzing black light show

bringing laugh-out-loud

adorable personality

to the hungry, hungry Caterpillar

(this is a non "shushing" show)

and there is nothing better than hearing

the spontaneous laughter

of children (and adults).

(so worth the occasional booger on the sleeve☺)

at the end they had a question and answer time

revealing some of the "secrets"

and turning the black lights onto the audience

who responded with great delight

to see their teeth (and everything white) glowing.

after it is all over...

outside

we see

spring is still

wonderful

Eric Carle and his hungry Caterpillar

Google paid tribute to Carle and his book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by asking him to design their logo "Google doodle", on their home page on March 20, 2009, celebrating the first day of spring.
