La MaMa Kids: Kasper and the Cow
"Timed for after school viewing!"
created by Ines Zeller Bass
performed by Jana Zeller
Enjoy a funny adventure with Kasper, beloved hand puppet hero of Germany, who is known for his stocking cap and audience-engaging humor. Kasper packs to go on a journey, but before he can leave, a cow steals his suitcase. With the help of his best friend, the endearing giant Augustin, Kasper has to go on a rollicking chase to reclaim his suitcase from the cow!
