The Library invites youngsters aged 3 to 8 to a bilingual play on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. at the Community Centre (1301 Rue du Bois).

Jacques eats too much sweets. He is always eating white bread and chocolate, which make Karius and Baktus very happy. The two tooth trolls live in Jacques’ mouth and they’re thrilled when Jacques eats sugar. And when they’re happy, they spend the day singing and digging holes in Jacques’ teeth. This may seem like fun but for poor Jacques who is in terrible pain, it’s not funny at all. Because of all this digging by Karius and Baktus, Jacques has a terrible toothache and he finally decides to go to the dentist. What will happen to Karius and Baktus? Will they continue to sing and dig all day?

This is a popular children’s story from Norway written by Thorbjørn Egner. All Norwegian children know it. The story has been translated in several languages and has become a favourite of children all over the world. The Théâtre bilingue de Montréal has decided that the time has come to introduce Quebec children to Karius and Baktus.

Come hear what happens to Karius and Baktus.
