Spot's Birthday Party
by David Wood
Synopsis
In this adaptation of the very popular Spot books, David Wood has created an exciting introduction to theatre for small children.
Using the simple plot of a birthday party, complete with entertainer, Spot (a puppy) and his animal friends, Steve (a monkey), Tom ( a crocodile), and Helen (a Hippo), helped by Sam and Sally (Spot’s Mother and Father), enjoy the birthday party, reflecting children’s early experiences such as guests arriving, present-giving, game-playing and going home thank-yous.
