Wiggly & Woggly

Back to Booklist

Our two irresistible bookworms - Wiggly and Woggly – travel all the way from Story Galory Town to take young audiences on a magical journey through various picture books. They encourage a love of reading and use of imagination from an early age. Children respond well to Wiggly and Woggly’s hilarious antics, their love and care of books and their sense of adventure.

This is a highly interactive, fun and colourful show where four varied books are brought to life. This show has the right amount of spice to keep children engaged throughout this 45min show. All around the country Preschoolers can be heard singing Wiggly & Woggly’s famous song “We are all about the books No TV.” Due to popular demand we have a 2nd show running in the latter part of the year. Now we can visit your school twice a year.

Let Wiggly and Woggly worm their way into your children’s hearts.
