(Berkeley, CA) November 8, 2008—
Come to Storytelling and Puppet Theater Day at Habitot Children's Museum on Saturday November 8 from 9:30 – 4:30pm. A lively and interactive professional puppet show, "Tales from the Enchanted Forest," will be performed by Nick Barone from 11:00 – 11:30 am, and there will be live storytelling every hour throughout the day starting at 10:00 am. The event is part of the Museum's larger effort to improve early literacy for children 0-6.

Children's imaginations will run wild creating magical moving puppets, and inventing their own puppet shows in our miniature theater. Families are invited to celebrate children's stories by making colorful storybooks and adding to Habitot's giant book sculpture! Regular admission rates apply.
