“Excellent presentation and rapport with audience – capturing their imagination immediately and completely – holding them in rapt attention and anticipation of what might come next. Good involvement by and with the audience to make them feel a part of the storytelling process.”
From Dave Mumford, Teacher, John F. Kennedy Elem., Daly City, CA
“One felt most relaxed because of the way the stories were told. The stories came over in a clear way – we could visualize the situation, you felt part of the story from the beginning. Everyone listened with enthusiasm. The children learned so much from an Excellent performance.”
From Mrs. Meira Thomas, Teacher, Beaumaris Primary School, Isle of Anglesey, WALES
