"Simon
- Thank You for undertaking another CD! "Simon
- My
drama classes and I heard your tales at Nashua North High School
today. We were all very impressed and had a lot of fun discussing
storytelling and drama afterwards. "Hi
- I must say I was very impressed with Simon's performance at
the high school level. I was interested to see how it played out.
It was evident, watching the students, that Simon held their attention
well. I witnessed some of the [high school] students actually
laughing in parts that were funny. I truly was impressed." "Dear
Simon,
"Saturday night was 'wicked good' as they say in N.H. My
granddaughter said they were the best stories she's ever heard.
We truly appreciated your performance. Thanks...Judi K. "Hi
Simon, thanks again for this terrific show. We loved it!"
Hi Simon, Hi
Simon - I just wanted to let you know how appreciated your talents
were at the [town] barbeque. You're the best, everyone says! Thanks
so much for doing the show, Simon, it was fantabulous. Your cd
was checked out of the library this morning. Dear Simon, Hi Simon.
I really enjoyed your storytelling tonight. Your quick switches
from character to character were inspired. I think you're really
fun to watch as well as to listen to - great voices and sound
effects. Your movement was precise and speedy with all the quick
character changes. Why, it was so fast that it almost made me
dizzy. But in a good way - like rolling down a hill and getting
out of control with laughter. |

| "Dear
Simon - Thank you for a thoroughly entertaining morning. It was the
perfect start to the Summer Reading Program. I estimated 97 adults
and children were gathered around. The rest of the staff told me that
many adults thought you were fantastic. The children were quite rapt
considering some were fairly young. The voices you use and the movement
certainly kept them alert. We have 72 children signed so far and I
think that to be a wonderful start to "Treasure Reading".
Thank you for helping make the program a success and for being so
accommodating. Have a great summer." - Barbara Widmer, Children's Librarian, Wolfeboro Public Library, Wolfeboro, NH - July 2006 "Dear Simon - I just wanted to say how wonderful your visit to our school was this past week - it was such a great gift to everyone. Your stories were funny, inspiring and uplifting. It was truly remarkable that you were able to hold the rapt attention of the children for over 50 minutes. Their diverse ages (K-6) made it an especially difficult assignment and you made it all look easy. Again, thank you for your energy and inspiration. Have a great summer." - Kerry Rosenthal, educational consultant, Event Planner, Wellborn Ecology Conference - June 2006 "Hi Simon: I am very pleased to have met y'all. I was captivated by the stories you told ...you brought out the child in me and I remember the stories like a movie playing inside my head. You kept us very interested and stretched our highly & culturally depleted attention spans so that we grew, upward, more focussed on Saturday afternoon. We definitely need the gift of your talents...may your story telling bring wisdom and joy to many." -Daryl (parent) - March 2006 "...the children and staff enoyed your telling very much. I was stopped in the hall by the 8th grade teacher to tell me that her class admitted that they didn't think they would like the session, but after attending they came away wanting more. One student suggested that it would be great to invite you back (to perform at) their graduation in June" - Kathleen, Cornish Elementary School, PTO - March 2006 TOP |

| Kids
really liked it - a few 'tough customers' actually told me it was
"really cool" and asked if we could have Simon back" - Andrea Poe, Children's Librarian, Barton, VT, Summer 2005 "The children laughed and screeched and rolled around on the gym floor in delight (at least they rolled around as much as the teachers would let them)! He's a very animated and funny storyteller" - Peg Downing, Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) advisor, Spring 2005 "He is a captivating storyteller for people of all ages. His great facial expressions, voices, and physical comedy are perfectly entertaining without being 'over the top'." - Sarah Allerton, Children's Librarian, St. Albans, VT, Summer 2005 "Thank you for kicking the week off with your great stories. The kids all enjoyed it." - Bonna Wieler, Vershare Camp director, Hanover, NH, Summer 2005 "Thank you so much for the wonderful program. Keep up the great work!" - Debra, Library Director, Fairlee, VT, Summer 2005 "Thank you for your storytelling session at the library. It was delightful." - Sue Kling, Librarian, Orfordville, NH, Spring 2005 "You are great!" Bruce Genereaux, owner, Upper Valley Events Center, Norwich, VT, Summer 2005 "Thank you, Simon, for your wonderful presentation at the Brentwood CLiF Grant program. We have had nothing but praise from the teachers and students at the school. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you again for everything." - Marilyn Morehead, Mary E. Bartlett Library, Brentwood, NH. Fall, 2005 |
