About This Book

A short, comic Christmas entertainment for children stages an encounter between ordinary schoolchildren and a mirror-image family whose habits, clothing, and manners are playfully reversed. Presented as a script with a full cast list, costume and property notes, song lyrics and cues, and choreography suggestions, it mixes nursery-rhyme figures, fairy characters, and humorous set pieces. Musical numbers and easy-to-stage bits emphasize audience participation and visual comedy, while the reversed-world conceit supplies situational gags and opportunities for pantomime and dance suitable for school or community performances.
