AWESOME! I really didn’t know what to expect- but it was GREAT! The children enjoyed and participated. I am a school teacher and I am going to give this info to my principal.

It was more than I expected. The interaction with the kids, making them part of the production was priceless. They loved it and participated joyfully. Laurie Hardy continues to be a warm, forceful, intelligent performer who can extract water from a stone with the most reticent of audiences. [Any stone or just a Moss-Covered Rock?]

Excellent!! The children were very good listeners which means they enjoyed the program. Since this is a library the retelling of this fable was a perfect way to introduce this type of book to children. We all enjoyed the performance. The storyteller (Jean) did a very good job. I would recommend this program to other organizations.
