Snack Facts Hand crafted puppets use original musical rhyming lyrics to tell the story of a Super Bunny who saves himself and his bunny friends by helping them build strong bunny bodies. Helped by Bobby Broccoli, Ms. Apple and Cleo Carrot the bunny chooses healthy snack options from many tempting foods in the snack cart. But when a non-grow food is chosen a hungry Wolf appears and threatens all the bunnies. Night or day the bunnies are challenged by either Sassy Sugar Susie or Sly Salty Sam just to name a few of the Wolf’s closest friends. Becoming a true healthy hero, this Super Bunny saves himself and his friends and successfully fights off the wolf with the help from his fruits and vegetables buddies. One of the performance finales is an Otter puppet that promotes drinking water as a thirst quencher by singing
