My 8 year old twin girls loved the show. They love stories and enjoy story telling sessions a lot and the story that was told that day- The Leopard's drum was wonderful. My girls were hooked on, the story teller was interactive and asked them questions. I could see the girls giggling and answering very excitedly when asked to choose between the animal characters. I would like to have my kids attend another session also along with their friends next time because it's like a group of friends sitting around a story teller.
