Here are just a few teachers who have had a Buddy the Blue Corgi school assembly
|
Buddy and Suzanna Lynn were a HUGE hit for our district! They came out to our remote corner Garden City, Kansas, and put on multiple presentations over 3 days. The kids are requesting her books and READING them. Adults thought the presentations were fantastic. The students enjoyed the story, Buddy's tricks and time to ask questions. If you are looking for an excellent author, Illustrator with bonus of performance of dog tricks I cannot recommend this team enough. She is excellent to work with for organizing multiple shows a day at various schools in the district. I highly recommend having Suzanna Lynn and her team visit your school. |
Suzanna did a wonderful job reading the story to the students; they especially enjoyed the different voices for the characters. Having the pictures displayed on the projector allowed all the students to really enjoy the story. Having Buddy there to do tricks and show the students who the stories are based on was a wonderful touch. |

I very much enjoyed your presentation and I liked how you handled and interacted with the kids during your visit. You explained how and why you started writing and you were pretty open and honest with your answers to the kids' questions. I especially liked the way you moved around for all to be able to see and how you handled repeat questions and "distracted" students. I wasn't sure how the assembly was going to go when we first came in, but I left a fan!!!! |
I have seen several presenters and I must say this one was one of the best. The kids were engaged and interested. They really enjoyed the story with the character voices. And what could be better than one cute doggie? Two! Both were so gentle and calm with hundreds of kids petting them. That was a special treat. |
