Dog Loves Books at Goucher

After hearing great reviews of the Tortoise and the Hare and both boys' ability to sit still, we checked Goucher's stage schedule and discovered a showing of Dog Loves Books.  We figured that it was a great opportunity to try again.  The boys love books and animals so the combination had to work, right??

 Picture taken after picking up the boys from the first stage show other than Disney. ALL smiles.

The website had shown that limited tickets were available and when we called to order, the ticketing people confirmed that they had tickets remaining for a couple of people but not for larger groups. 
We arrived at Gaucher and there were a lot of buses and the boys were in awe.  We did talk about how they came to see Tortoise and the Hare in a bus and there were probably a lot of buses that day as well.

Ms. Burton relayed that she gave Jackson a sensory ball to hold on to during the Tortoise and the Hare and he responded well.  We decided to get him one too and try it out.  He struggles sitting still and it worked wonders just like she had indicated.

We found our seats and waited for all of the school children to stream in.  

Goucher prohibited pictures during the show to avoid the distraction of the performers.  The story was easy for the boys to follow and inspiring.

In the end, Dog sold his 3 books and was well on his way to selling the million he wanted. 

Upon arriving, we received a complimentary copy of Dog Loves Books for our continual reading enjoyment. It was a great morning with the boys and we are both wishing that we had looked into taking the boys to shows earlier.  We are super thankful to Ms. Burton and her many suggestions related to Jackson especially the use of a sensory ball.
