Situated on a friendly corner between an animal shelter and a toy inventor's lab, The Story Shop welcomes passers by of all ages to drop in and hear or tell a story. Buk, the eccentric resident bookworm collects stories written and illustrated by children and transports them to viewers via a magic screen. Very young visitors add an element of unpredictable spontaneity to the program as they weave their questions and commentary throughout the harmonious blend of The Story Shop's stories, activities, and songs.
