“I enjoyed your visit thoroughly.  Being the only person at Trinity that was able to see both performances in their entirety, I believe you reached all grade levels from PreK-8^th grade.  That’s an accomplishment.  Thanks for sharing your talent and skills with us!”

“We enjoyed the entire performance.  Some special things—variety of instruments for Cat & Fiddler, being able to be part of the play.  Mother Goose’s visit—we liked the way different rhymes were incorporated.  And we LOVED Gus, the Goose!”

“You kept their attention and there was a good moral point to the story.  You added a lot to our special morning with the kids.” (from a Christmas story told in a church setting)

“Mesmerizing storytelling, outstanding costume, and intriguing tales.  Thank you for visiting our school!”

“The transition story into each song was very clever and a great lead-in.  One little girl’s facial expressions were priceless. . . The performance was well rounded and exceptional.”

“On March 8^th  Mother Goose, Judith Wynhausen, performed at our Parents As Teachers Group Meeting.  I would like to recommend her for any of your special events where children are attending.  She is absolutely wonderful with children of any age.  She has the ability to capture the attention of even the smallest child.  Her performances are animated, engaging, and involve the children in many of the classic nursery rhymes.”  

“I loved watching the children’s faces during your performance.  Some of them sat with their mouths open and hanging on every word.  I don’t think anyone went away disappointed.”

“The duck was most beloved by the audience.  He was the best duck puppet I’ve ever seen.  I heard the children talking about him for days—and you too. . . This performance was just the greatest.  Thank you for coming.” 

“I loved how you made everything seem so real.”

“Her costumes, her voices, her puppets---she held the children’s attention very well!  Funny for the adults also; interesting!  I really liked the way you started a story then incorporated the poems into it.  Your mouse looks real!  And your goose has great expressions too!” 

“She was funny!”  “She’s a great singer.”  “I liked the goose!”  “I thought the mouse was real at first.”  “I thought you held the kids attention quite well for as long as they had to sit there.  You were fun and very entertaining.  I liked the calm voice of Mother Goose and the ‘cocky’ voice of the goose.” 

“The children (and teachers) enjoyed your songs, puppets, rhymes so much.  It’s obvious you know and enjoy children and see their humor in our ‘adult world.  Thank you again for a delightful time!”

Diane Loyhry and Candy Michener, Kindergarten teachers, Helen Baller Elementary School, Camas, WA.

“The puppets were very believable!  The humor was wonderful.  Your switches between characters were very smooth.  You also have a beautiful singing/speaking voice.”

“The children loved the puppets and the music.  I liked the entire performance.  The kids talked about the performance for days and wanted you to come back.” 

“I believe we enjoyed the interactive singing the most.  A superb performance! . . . Thank you so much for coming to our library.” 

“We all really enjoyed your banter with the gander.  It was very entertaining and the children thought it was hilarious!  We also liked your costume and how animated you were when performing.”

“This was the best spent money to enrich our student’s language experiences.”

“Your skillful use of puppets and ventriloquism kept us mesmerized.  You brought the nursery rhymes to life, and helped create a firm bond between the children and this part of their literary heritage.  Thanks for coming.!”
