Measurable Outcome(s)

Five little monkey jumping on the bed; So say the little monkey; Two little monkey and songs and fingerplays and more. Brian is amazing with the kids--they'd do anything he asked and follow him anywhere!

Kids enjoyed. Good crowd control ability was mentioned by parents.

funny stories about monkeys, knights and kids who won't take naps. Brian is amazing with kids--they absolutely love him. (I think he's pretty cool, too.)

He's such a great performer. The kids and parents were laughing so much and I had so many comments post show about how excellent it was.

Very receptive group of children for the program. They really got into the stories at Brian's prompting, and several laughed at everything!
