Winnetka Community House
Room 101
One of our most popular shows, Robert James, zoologist, teacher and author, never ceases to entertain. Pet a python, greet an alligator, meet a porcupine, armadillo or an iguana. During his show, Dr. James takes each animal to each member of the audience to meet… except the ostrich, who will meet and greet each audience member all by herself.
