Testimonials
Hi Nitsana,
I learned so much from your presentation! Which is really saying something when I’ve been using puppets for 26 years and conduct a day-long workshop of my own where participants make 25 puppets. I LOVED your enthusiasm, your rapid-fire delivery, and your passion for what you do.

Dear Mrs. Lazerus:
I am writing to thank you for performing your “Puppet Variety Show” for the children for the children of the Meyer Community during National Children’s Book Week. The kids were absolutely wowed and thrilled at all the various puppets you introduced during your program. I could not believe t that 2 – 4 year olds sat still and gave you their complete attention for the entire 45-minute program! this feat alone could only mean that they were truly entertained by your performance. In addition, I have recieved serveral compliments from the parents who attended the program. In fact, many moms have come into the library since then to ask for information on how to contact you regarding scheduling you at their older children’s schools.
In essence, your puppets really captured the attention of the children who attended the program. The way in which you introduced numbers, the alphabet, and colors into the program through song was just incredible! I would definitely reccommend you to those persons seeking quality programming for children they teach or serve. I know that you will be coming back to Meyer for a repeat performance soon. The children and their parents have asked when I am going to have the “Puppet Lady” back!
Sincerely,
Suzy Benton
Children’s Librarian
