The quality of your performance was exceptional. The audience was willingly captivated and sorely disappointed that there was an end to your performance.

The show was just breathtaking. He was fantastic. He filled the auditorium with energy. His pieces of literature were right-on. On a scale of 1-10, he was a 25.

As always, the children (and parents) were captivated by your imaginative, warm, expert performance. You truly brought ‘literature to life’ for our young summer readers at this awards program.

We appreciated the entertainment and educational value of your presentation! I particularly liked the way you geared your two presentations to the different age levels. SUPER!

Chris was terrific – I don’t know if the children enjoyed him more – or I did. Bravo!

Your shows are always top quality. I know that our JCC community has thoroughly enjoyed your performances time and time again. ‘Dad’s Night’ added to the list of great shows!

The students loved it. He was great! The kids want him to come back.

One mother told me … that her son never shares anything about school assemblies with her but he talked about your performance today.

What an entertaining, educational, unique and fun show it was!

The children were completely captivated with your storytelling … Our teachers were thrilled. I received many compliments from our staff members and parents.

Your performance was breathtakingly good. It was just brilliant!

The staff evaluation sheet says – this is the exact quote – Must have back! Must have back!

You will always be the first person I think of for school-wide events. You are simply the best!

I want to thank you for being the perfect start for our Young Authors Month!

Not only are you one of the most joyously entertaining performers we have ever had as part of our enrichment program, your message of using one’s imagination to bring literature to life is still bubbling around the school.

I was looking around at the audience while you were performing and the parents and kids just looked so happy.

He was fabulous! He is a Great storyteller and entertainer AND he stresses reading. The stories he tells the students can find in the library!!!
