You and your kids aged 3-8 will love these two South African plays, The Mantis and the Moon and Stubby the Caterpillar.

The plays are from the landmark 1979 book by Marguerite Poland, and each has an vital question, which is also a life-lesson for kids: First, Can the Mantis catch the moon? And second, can the Caterpillar outgrow her unhappiness with her stubby legs and ugly body?


The Mantis and The Moon opens with the Mantis resting on the desert floor. He looks up and is stunned by the beauty of the moon, and is enchanted by its brightness and the way it illuminates the earth. The Mantis decides he wants the moon for himself. Will he win the moon?

The Stubby Caterpillar is equally absorbing. Caterpillar dislikes her body form: She’s got short stubby legs and long body, and as she goes about her business on the veldt, she meets all sorts of insects, some are friends and others are not! Do you know how beautiful she becomes?

Book now to catch this fantastic offer, and to learn all the answers!
