Schedule Captain Book and Kitty the Dog for storytelling literacy programs in preschools, elementary schools, and public libraries. Sessions include stories with audience participation, puppetry , songs, and humor to educate, enable, and enrich. These programs epitomize the quote of the late puppeteer, Shari Lewis's father, What is learned with pleasure is learned full measure.

Workshops for Early Childhood & Kinder Educators


Library Lessons for Little Ones has step-by-step lessons with recommended books, songs, puppets, and activities to teach and have fun. It's the perfect match for teaching kiddos curriculum based library lessons and for classroom instruction, too. Lessons include teaching objectives.

I can also create a customized curriculum based workshop on a theme of your choice.
