"There was something for everyone – great
visuals, music, singing and terrific story selections. Everyone
came out happy. Many adults made a point of going to the
reference desk afterwards to tell staff how much they enjoyed
the program. Thank you Phynix."

“Storytime with Phynix and Anansi” was one of the best performances
for children we’ve had. Phynix (Glenn Copeland) entertained a large
and varied group of adults and children of all ages with stories, songs and
puppets, including Anansi the Spider puppet. What impressed me was his
comfy, sit-down approach to storytelling, which put the entire audience at
ease."
"After storytime, the lights came up, and Phynix brought out all of his
puppets and musical instruments for the children to play with, creating an
impromptu puppet show and jam session! We had a most excellent time."

"This
was a performance that held the audience spellbound
for one hour. Five year
olds and up (parents included) were entranced as
Phynix conducted his multimedia performance of library
stories, beautiful music, sound effects, puppets
and fun. He has a very professional style of combining
his singing and reading voice with his own music
which added so much to each story. His style was
so intriguing, that the children were very involved
even though the hour was kept low-key. I loved the
fact that Phynix's storytelling could entertain the
children for a whole hour.
I can hardly wait to see what he'll do next."
