What happens in the show?

This show is very funny – there’s a tree, a bird and a beaver, as well as a baddie who tries to chop down the tree. I’ve never really seen a show like this before so I wasn’t sure about it at first, but it was so silly I was laughing a lot very soon. The man who did the show (Christiaan Hendriksen) was really good at talking to the kids in the room, even the ones that were talking a lot. And I got a really shiny sticker at the end.

What did you like most about the show?

It was funny.

Was there anything you didn’t like?

It was dark and the room was quite small, so I had to get used to that. My little sister who is nearly three was a bit scared, so my daddy had to take her outside.

What did your grown-up think about the show?

Both my mummy and my nana laughed a lot. And they were happy that they also got a shiny sticker.

Would you tell your friends to go to the show?

Yes, I think my friends who are nearly five like me or bigger and who like silly jokes would love this show.
