Professional actor and school assembly performer Michael “Tuba” Heatherton teaches the joys of reading by bringing to the stage statesmen, inventor and author, Benjamin Franklin. “Ben Loves Books” uses original songs, humor and audience participation to make this a fun, K-6 appropriate assembly. This 45 min. assembly presentation shares “founding father facts” and demonstrates why reading books is so important. This show is an ideal way to kick off a school or library youth reading program.
Just as the real Benjamin Franklin had a fantastic sense of humor, so does performer “Tuba” Heatherton, in his entertaining portrayal of this great American. Even Kindergarteners will enjoy this show about reading.
