If you are looking for a wonderful library program to encourage children to LOVE reading, please take a few moments to learn more about Jeffini's 2020 program for libraries. We are preparing a unicorn horn for Horace the Donkey for this all NEW show! Of course he thinks he's going to be a dragon . . . but there are NO DRAGONS in this show! And at least he doesn't have to dress up like Gus the Gorilla who gets to wear fairy wings!
The show is perfect for kids aged 3 and up . . . and even your parents will enjoy it. Your kids and parents will LOVE Jeffini the Magician as "Professor Dumbasadoor Knob" as we all learn about the best Fables and Fairy tales that books have to offer. We will meet the Princess and the Frog, Jack and the bean stalk, Harry Potter, Gandalf the Grey ... and lots more. But NO Dragons OR dragon eggs. After all, everyone knows that you should NEVER bring your dragon to the library!
Jeffini performs over 100 shows each summer in libraries, day cares, summer camps, churches, and campgrounds. This show is fantastic and lots of fun for the whole audience. We also offer 2 terrific workshops for older children AND teens & 7 additional programs families love ... read more below.

Buddy Blastoff
This Space-themed show teaches children to be Buddies, not bullies!
Children need friends and need to learn how to be and make best buddies. One cause of bullying is a lack of understanding how to build positive relationships. The Buddy Blastoff Show will teach students how to think of others as more important than themselves, how to put others first, how to listen more than talk, and how to share. It is a positive way to address bullying issues and a fun and creative way to teach boys and girls the importance of loving others as well as teamwork.
