(From the Joplin Public Library)
Three time Emmy-Award winning storyteller Bobby Norfolk will present, “Rhythms, Rhymes, and Raps” at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 12 at the new Joplin Public Library, 1901 East 20th Street. This multicultural exploration of poetry is sure to set toes tapping!
According to his website, “Bobby turns traditional tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood” or “The Three Billy’s Goat’s Gruff,” into finger-snapping, toe-tapping verse. He transforms selections from his favorite authors into comical and creative raps, and fills them all with zany vocal effects, lively animation, and tons of humor.”
The public is welcome and no registration is required. Suggested age for this program is 5th grade and under.
