Poems and Puppets
Five Hotdogs in an Army
Thank you for your show

. . . Haiku by Anthony, Fifth Grade, Comly School in Philadelphia
Haiku, HipHop and Hotdogs weaves favorite children’s poems into a seamless tapestry of art and entertainment for all audiences. View the natural world through a child’s eye in “Every Time I Climb a Tree!”  Imagine a symphony composed entirely by the swimming of “The Goldfish!” Thrill to the exploits of aerodynamic sausages in “Fearless Flying Hotdogs!” Dance with the “Funky Snowman!” “Keep a Poem in Your Pocket” and – above all – “Do Not Approach an Emu!” The poems of Jack Prelutsky, Beatrice Schenk de Regniers, David McCord, Geoff  Hewitt and others are featured in this exciting new creation from the award-winning Crabgrass Puppet Theatre.
