"Ranka's presentation is of the highest quality, both in entertainment and educational value." — Dick Lyman, Principal

Dramatization of the Stories
Animal Stories from Around the World: An enchanting tour of world cultures through folk literature. Animal Stories presents folktales and fables from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Each story is carefully retold and enhanced with ethnic music.
The Demonstration
Ranka’s dramatization of the stories is followed by her highly popular and engaging demonstration, in which she shows students how they can create their own puppets from easy-to-find, recyclable materials.
