It’s never too early to begin showing children character traits that are most admired by society. Inspired by The Children’s Book of Virtues, Grey Seal has produced an entertaining and enlightening program of stories from around the world including “The Little Hero of Holland,” “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “Please,” and “Why Frog and Snake Never Play Together.”

A traveling salesman trundles on stage with his large battered sample case and exhibits various containers, filled with virtues. You’ll be delighted as he transforms his sample case into a puppet stage and brings each story to life. Using his wares, he demonstrates courage, perseverance, politeness and tolerance. But in the end, the salesman realizes that virtues can’t be bought; they are priceless but they have to be practiced to be earned.
