The kids had so much fun and having you there made it special and memorable for everyone...I can't thank you enough - having you at Ben's party turned it into a real event that the kids will be talking about for a long time. We've already heard from our friends who reported that the kids were exhausted and said it was the best party ever!!!" ![]() "Thanks so much for making Zoe's second birthday party a fun time for all. Not only where the little ones enjoying themselves, but their parents were also having a good time. I liked that you took the time before hand to say Hi to Zoe (and her friends) personally...she warmed up to you very quickly...I even have pictures of the introduction frame by frame proving it. After the show, the Moms commented how nice it was that you again took the time to say good bye to each kid individually, and many commented on your nice 'radio' voice :) Thanks again for the great show, we all enjoyed it very much." Nela Fidelino, Markham, Ontario

He is able to incorporate the concepts of co-operation/conflict resolution while telling the story. He involves children with hands on the instruments while doing music activities and takes children on a multi-cultural journey with his songs." ![]()

The children were completely taken with him - he was a Pied Piper with little mice following along. The accordion was an especially big hit! Well done!" ![]() ![]() "I just wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU!!!!! Your performance was amazing and so entertaining. All the other parents were so complimentary through-out the evening and commented on how wonderful you were with the kids. It has been a constant topic of conversation today around the house. The girls keep adding to their list of 'favorite things at the birthday party'; each new item involves one of your songs or one of your stories." Helen Pearce, Mother of 4 & 6 year old, Toronto "...the kids enjoyed the party and I can't thank you enough - you truly are a master at kids entertainment...........worth every penny. Thank you so much. I asked Alexander if he would like to do that again next year and he said he would, which was very exciting for me as he was a little apprehensive at first.......thoroughly enjoyed himself though, he said when we got in the car - that was the best birthday party he's ever been to !!!!" Liz, Mother of Alexander (6), Stouffville Hi James, Dawn Breda-Costa, Markham, Ontario ![]() Nancy Fowler, Toronto "We are very happy we contacted you and were delighted with the entertainment you provided. It still amazes me how you held the children's attention for over an hour. I heard from several mom's how much their kids enjoyed our daughter's party. We will be recommending you to our friends. Thanks again!!" Trudy MacNeill, mother of 5 year old, Toronto "We have not stopped talking about the party and your wonderful performance. You made our day so special and we can't thank you enough for that. Keeping little ones entertained and engaging their imaginations is not easy. You have a magical way with children, James. I can't tell you how much positive feedback we got after the party." Cedar Elder, mother of 4 year old, Toronto ![]() "I just wanted to let you know that everyone loved your show on Saturday and had a great time. You managed to keep 20 three-olds totally engaged for an hour which I didn't think was possible." Eli Fellman, father of 3 year old, Toronto "...I just wanted to thank you once again for the amazing performance you put on today for Camila - you made memories for her that I am sure will remain with her for a very long time, if not forever. Your selection of songs and the special added touch of the spanish song were brilliant. Thank you very very much James, seeing the smiles on the kids faces and hearing one of the boys tell his mom as they left ... "this was the best birthday EVER" - WOW you truly have a special gift for creating magical moments that last a lifetime. THANK YOU!!" Sole Fernandez, Toronto "Thank YOU! You had 10 girls completely captivated for over an hour and it was amazing to watch all of them (some faster than others of course) come out of their shells and entertain each other." J. Rothblott, Mother of 8 year-old ![]() Hi James, Joe Gold, Director, Banbury Kids Camp Delia Braddock, Markham "Just a note to thank you again for the lovely program you provided for our house-full of 3 and 4 year olds. You had those munchkins RIVETED with your original songs, and it was such a special touch that you remembered each child's name. Oscar had a memorable birthday, and we continue to enjoy your music EVERY time we drive in the car. Your CD is required listening!" Su Laine Varkey, Toronto ![]() "Thank you James, we all had a blast. You have a gift with children and I am always amazed how you get each and every one involved - even kids who don't speak English. I gave my daughter your disk and she is mesmerized. She is a very early riser and this disk got her to stay in her room quietly for 2 mornings straight! Now she keeps telling me I just HAVE to listen to the story about the dragon. Thanks again!" Liza, Mother of 3 & 5 year old, Toronto "I was impressed. The children were very engaged and it wasn't stupid - that doesn't happen very often!" Lior Gluzberg, Camp Eden "This letter is written to provide the highest recommendation for James Funnyhat." Heather Wheeler, Principal, Annette Public School "Once again I would like to thank-you for performing at Tia's 5th birthday! You were amazing! The kids were so engaged, and I think EVERYBODY (parents included) really loved seeing them have so much fun! YOU ARE AMAZING!" Penny Belton, Toronto ![]() "I would like to express a warm appreciation for your great program and for the great performance. (At the City of Guelph Ribfest) We came purposely for it today after enjoying it last year. Your performance is less commercial and more children-oriented than others. You speak to kids from their height, which I find really important. In addition to being real fun for the kids (dancing with "unusual" body parts, for example), it is also very educational ("Fix the road" song), very physically motional ("Five hammers" song) and very imaginative (using body parts as musical instruments). And you succeed to do all this without using too many equipment or special effects on the stage. And of course, parents enjoy it too! ...letting Lia play the Lion in the story you just made her day! More than that, I am sure she will remember her great experience for a long time and will tell everyone excitingly about it. When she heard you singing the "In the jungle" song from afar, she "flew" towards the children tent. Once again, thank you very much for the amazing art you perform for children and families." Anna Marom, Guelph "Thank you so much for the shows this morning. We've had some very enthusiastic comments from the teachers and the children. I was impressed by your gentle manner and that you were so appropriate for this age group. Loved your voice and the variety of songs and stories you brought to us. Participation by the children is always a winner! I can just hear the "stars" (and others) telling their parents all about it tonight! Again, thank you." Angela Sasaki, Vice Principal, Unionville Montessori School ![]() ![]() "My grade one students had an amazing time. You are such a fantastic performer. You have a presence that immediately draws children to you and you were so good with them. My students were fully engaged. You had them laughing, dancing, singing and acting! Your program not just covers the Ontario Arts Curriculum but it integrates Science and Social Studies and Language. You were able to address many of the children's different learning styles and I really appreciated that. You fully captivated the students!"
