What they say...

About the show “Lapin wants breakfast” :

“Alternating French and English words throughout helped the children to learn a second language in a ‘natural way’… [Tania] is excellent and enthusiastic. Puppets are well made and the story well performed. Children loved their “theatre” experience in the familiar surroundings of their own nursery. Merci beaucoup !”

(Head teacher, Camdean Nursery, Fife)

“The rabbit was so funny !”

(Child, Stanwell Nursery, Edinburgh)

“LPM offers a very lively way to engage young pupils in French. The experience of a performance and workshop can enhance and expand their use of the French language. All children up to P7 can benefit from Tania's native knowledge and get an insight to life in contemporary France and the French culture.”

(Ruthanne Baxter, Creative Links Officer for East Lothian Council)

“This is the best way I have seen a new language presented to children. It is fun, educational, and really holds their attention.”

(Lesley, Pre-school Senior nursery nurse, about the Pre-school Programme)

“She chats in French to her toys... honestly ! I'm amazed by that bit... She totally understands the concept of multiple languages now... It is a fabulous experience that I really enjoy sharing with her”

(Parent, about her child taking part in the Pre-school classes at Cowgate under 5s centre)

About Tania :

“Tania has great talents as a maker, performer, storyteller and teacher.”

(Richard Medrington, The Puppet State)

LAPIN WANTS BREAKFAST

EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2011 REVIEWS

BroadwayBaby.com ★★★★

"If you are interested in developing your child’s awareness of new languages, this is a wonderful platform in which to do so. Pretty, enjoyable and funny, this show is not only educational but very entertaining."

3 Weeks ★★★

"... a 40 mins lesson in language - unbeknown to the children, who participate throughout. [...] This is a wonderful show for pre-school children."

The Herald ★★★★

"What at first were shy little voices repeating the carefully chosen words, soon grew more courageous with the host Tania’s encouragement. The simple theme of trying to feed a fussy rabbit had the target audience fully engaged with Lapin and his friends."

Fest ★★★

"If proof were ever needed that you don’t need too many bright lights, bells and whistles to keep children entertained, then Lapin wants breakfast certainly proves it."
