WHAT EARLY READERS HAVE TO SAY....

​

"From the moment we sat down to read Lights! Camera! Vaudeville!, my son was hooked. As a movie lover, he was excited to see our book friends head to the theater, and the word vaudeville immediately sparked so many questions.

This book is such a gem! He loved the authentic photos from real vaudeville shows and couldn’t stop imagining the acts he would perform himself. The story is written expressively  in a way that makes it fun to read along out loud as if you’re discovering vaudeville right alongside Mark and Mary.

One of our favorite parts was the interactive section, where we watched clips of real vaudeville performances. He was especially amazed by the fabric dancing and trapeze acts!  I can’t recommend this book enough for families looking to spark curiosity, creativity, and an appreciation for the early roots of Broadway. Thank you, Kimberly Faye Greenberg, for creating such an engaging and inspiring experience for young readers. My son can’t wait to own it and read it again!"

"Lights! Camera! Vaudeville! is a delightful resource that can be enjoyed by kids, parents, and teachers alike. It’s easy to follow, comprehensive, and a book you'll return to again and again as children create their own solo acts. As a voice teacher, I’m excited to share this book with my students because it encourages creativity while helping them build confidence and comfort with storytelling. It’s a wonderful introduction to the acting skills that go hand in hand with singing, making it a valuable resource for any young performer."

"This delightful book is an open door to a profoundly important and impactful time in American entertainment. What a gift to children’s literature! The interactive webpage was a thrill for the whole family and an unprecedented marvel for my child."

"Reading “Lights, Camera, Vaudeville!” with my kids was so much fun. It had them laughing and giggling, but it also introduced them to the fascinating history of vaudeville and how live performance has changed over the years. I loved how naturally it sparked conversations about how entertainment was different before television and movies, and what it might have been like to create your own act. Before we knew it, we were all brainstorming the silly, creative vaudeville acts our family would perform!

As the founder of a children’s theatre program, I’m always looking for books that encourage imagination while introducing children to the rich history of theatre. This is a wonderful addition to our shelves because it helps kids understand that long before screens, people gathered to experience live performances filled with music, comedy, storytelling, and creativity - exactly what the kids are doing in our classes!"
