Children’s Book Week (August 16–23, 2025) is nearly here and, to help celebrate, we’re touring our special story time puppet show across South-East Queensland throughout August.
Ideal for schools, kindies and childcare centres, Story Time With Larrikin Puppets is a colourful and engaging 45-minute show designed especially for children aged 3–7. It features music, laughter, lively puppets, and a beautifully presented storybook reading, showcasing Australian children’s books by authors like Hazel Edwards, Susanne Gervay, Glenn Martin, and Caroline Stills.
Rather than acting out the story, the puppets join in by listening, asking questions and making comments — role-modelling active listening and supporting comprehension, pre-literacy skills, and communication development.
The show also includes:
- Funny skits and catchy songs
- Lots of fun audience interaction
- A behind-the-scenes demonstration of how the puppets work
This year’s Book Week theme is “Book an Adventure!” — and this joyful puppet show invites children to do just that.
If you’re planning something special for Book Week or looking for an engaging experience any time in August, we’d love to bring the show to your centre or school. Enquire now for a quote and to book!
