PLAYFUL LEENA AND COOL VILJAMI - THE CASE OF THE SINGING BOOKWORM!

The Case of the Singing Bookworm! is an interactive concert about the adventures of best friends Playful Leena and Calm Viljami.

The Case of the Singing Bookworm! is an ode to play, letters, and learning new things, as well as an imaginative journey back to childhood and summer vacation. Letters begin to form words and open doors to new and wondrous worlds. Leading the way through the concert are Playful Leena (a bubbly bundle of joy with plenty of energy and stories to tell) and her best friend Calm Viljami (who loves to play the piano and has just learned to read).

But what happens to their friendship when one dives into the world of words and the other doesn’t yet know what letters look like? In the background, another story is being told about the Singing Bookworm, who might pop up at any moment…!

As the story unfolds, the audience gets to join in on letter games and captivating songs – you might even get to join the reading bug conga line dance – lukutoukkaletkajenkka!

Duration: approx. 30 min

Language: Finnish

Target audience: the whole family, especially preschoolers, kindergarteners, and young elementary school students

On stage, rhymes, songs, and games: Leena Keizer & Viljami Viippola
