Books Come to Life with Wiggly and Woggly!

On Thursday, 8 May, the Grade R, RR and RRRs were entertained by the incredible Hooked on Books Team, fondly known as Wiggly and Woggly. This live book show for children feels like stepping into the pages of their favourite storybook. Performed by talented actors, the show masterfully brings children's books to life with energy, humour, and heart. We explored five amazing books: The Sound of Moo-Sic, Honey Tales Africa, Catch that Chicken, The Elephant’s Itchy Toe and Vera the Vegetarian Vulture.

As the performers stepped on stage, they had the students completely captivated, whether it was through vivid costumes, playful music or laugh out loud character voices. Children were encouraged to participate – sometimes helping to solve a mystery, shouting out suggestions, singing a song, tapping their feet, and dancing, always feeling like a part of the adventure. It was wonderful to see so many young faces fully engaged, laughing, clapping and in total awe.

This book show has inspired the next generation of readers through laughter, learning, singing and dancing.
