November 7, 2025Unusual Critter Fun
We LOVE having WOTM come to our public library! We have invited Mr. B and his unussssual critters every summer for about 20 years. Adults who came as children, now bring their children for a fun, exciting, humorous presentation of out of the ordinary animals. It is nice too that Eric is always on time, reliable, personable, and on target with our themes. Thanks, Mr. B!

Please be Aware that we typically arrive at least 1 Hour Early to Survey the Logistics for Safe & Efficient Load-In & Load-Out of our Animal Ambassadors and Approve the “Stage Area” Space to ensure that ALL are conducive to our standards, expectations, and safety of our critters & staff – We prefer to load-in and set-up on level ground as much as possible at the Presentation Venue Site, as our Animal Ambassadors are wheeled in on carts (2-3 gradual steps up or down can be navigated effectively, however, if your venue/home has multiple stairs or tiered landscaping that will make load-in & presentations unsafe & difficult to navigate, we will need to work together for an alternate plan or route to the Presentation “Stage Area” and ask that you are flexible with the Presentation “Stage Area” possibly changing or the method in which we present being adjusted to better fit/meet the conditions, once we arrive at the site). Kids can be seated on the ground/floor with adults in chairs/standing. Birthday Child/Special Guest will have the opportunity throughout the event to touch and hold every animal we present (typically 4-5 Unique Critters from Around the World will be highlighted during Stage Show) - featuring The Unhuggables and all of their guests will have the opportunity to touch and hold the very last animal from the presentation for photo ops + we will have an additional 2-3 Bonus Animals for Hands-On Interactions & Photos for All after the Stage Show. We will also provide the Party Guests with "GO WILD for Reading" Bookmarks and Stickers as party favors while supplies last.
ALL Program Offerings: We will arrive at least 1 Hour prior to the scheduled presentation time to set-up. On occasion and/or depending upon the venue set-up and weather conditions, we will request to pull up our transport vehicle to our presentation spot to unload, stage from, or work out of depending upon the temps and conditions.
