Cows climb trees, goats somersault, and chickens lay scrambled eggs. National award winning singer, songwriter, and poet, Eric Ode, leads the fun! And coming along for the ride is none other than that crabby tabby himself, Scratch, the barn cat. American Sign Language and other hand motions and movement, puppets and props, and a favorite children's book or two make this program a tail-wagging good time! </div> <div> <A HREF="fire_escape_photo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Promo Photo Eric Ode, Fire Escape"><U>Click here for a promotional photo for this program.</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.ericode.com/ufm/programrequest.php" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ericode.com/ufm/programreques"><U>Click here for a program request form.</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 147 WIDTH="201"><div> <IMG SRC="a2662560.jpg" border=0 width="98" height="86" ALT="spring music program for libraries" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="526"><div> Sing a Song of Spring <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Andy" >- A Celebration in Tales and Tunes</FONT></div> <div> Young children and families welcome!
