Something Fishy
2010 Summer Reading Program for Libraries
Scroll down for a schedule of performances.
Jay and Leslie Cady of Laughing Matters combine wild and wacky juggling, stories, and humor with a look at the water cycle and the role of water in nature. The earth is mostly made of water, and we must take care of it. But not all is as it should be—something’s fishy!
