AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Inspired by the award-winning best-selling book, The Very Cranky Bear, by Nick Bland.

'Zebra, Lion and Moose each think they know how to solve the Bear's crankiness, but their shenanigans just make him even crankier! It takes a humble and empathetic Sheep with an open heart and listening ear to solve the Bear's woes.

'Cranky Bear is a rollicking cabaret-style show for 4 - 8 year olds packed with music, laughter and mayhem.'
