http://boston.parenthood.com/event/schnurzpiepegal-like-master-like-dog.html 10:30am & 1pm A picture book written and illustrated by Ms. Steinitz is brought to life, performed out of a suitcase, with live music created and played on an array of instruments by Mr. Kollin. While walking through the city, one can see that all dogs look like their owners. But there are some exceptions: Leonora loves operas more than anything and shares a happy life with her dog Fidelio, who doesn’t look like her at all. Two blocks from their home lives another odd couple, Joshua and his dog Pistachia, who share a passion for home made chocolates. In the street people wrinkle their noses and laugh about Leonora and Joshua who don’t match with their dogs at all. A humorous love story about outsiders who overcome their loneliness and people’s prejudices by accepting themselves. Children will be able to make their own toy theater puppets.

The girls' dreams and desires challenge their mother's harsh rules and the outside world begins to slowly permeate their isolated existence.
