New for the 2009 Vacation Reading Program: Introducing the New...

"Creative Reading Extravaganza!"

(Now booked in almost 100 libraries for the 2009 VRP!)


Chad's "Creative Reading Extravaganza!" is designed around the "Be Creative" theme for the 2009 Summer Reading Program. The program will encourage kids to learn all about the Fine Arts by reading books on music, drawing/painting, dance, acting, playing an instrument, and even a little magic! Chad uses humor, magic, storytelling, and lots of audience participation to illustrate the different points of the program, that good readers can learn to do all kinds of things, meet all kinds of people, and go on all kinds of adventures! And, as always, there will be a few of Chad's famous live critters that will make a magical appearance or two, and Chad will once again perform his now almost world-famous straitjacket escape which is now even more difficult than ever before!

Would you like to bring in Teens to your library and have them check out books that reinforce what they are learning in school?

The look no further than Chad's new show

"Authors of Mystery and Horror"

This show is designed to bring in older youth to the library. The show features several tricks based around the poems and short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, as well as one or two other famous literary figures. This show is designed for kids 10 and up, and makes a great Fall/Winter program for your library. Not only that, but students tend to study about Poe in school right around Halloween, so this is the perfect time to host a show about him! Finally, you will recieve posters and brochures to give to the local schools to both promote your show and possibly save you lots and lots of money off of the price of your show! Let us help you bring in teens to your library today!

***Coming soon for the 2008-2009 school year - "Authors of Mystery and Horror" v.2.0 Here is a list of tentative stories and authors: H.G.Wells "The Time Machine", "The War of the Worlds", "The Island of Dr. Moreau" and "The Invisible Man", Robert Louis Stevenson "Treasure Island" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", W.W. Jacobs "The Monkey's Paw", and possibly a few more TBA!***
