Rob and Maggie Erdmann present an all new show for 2010 that is designed to compliment your library's summer reading program. Scare Up a Good Book! is recommended for audiences from kindergarten through 5th grade, however librarians often comment that the show is entertaining to all ages. (See the testimonials page.) The show is a combination of magic, puppets, storytelling, and audience participation. It is written to engage the audience with laughter and encourage them to read over the summer. Two new monster puppets were added to the cast for this show, and, of course, Vern and Shivers, the bird and mouse puppets will be up to their shenanigans again. The show culminates when an audience member is selected to become a wizard for the finale of the show. Call or e-mail Rob Erdmann to reserve a date to have this outstanding performance at your library. Rob.Erdmann@yahoo.com 815-979-5977 |

| Roz Erdmann, our mother and grandmother, was our biggest fan. She came with us to our performances whenever she could, trying to help out in any way she could. She loved watching the children laugh and was dedicated to helping children learn to read. After retirement, Roz became a foster grandparent at Mary Morgan Elementary School in Byron, IL. She volunteered her time every day at the school, helping kindergarteners learn how to read. She spent hours helping in the school library. Pulling her red wagon from classroom to classroom, she collected books from the students to return to the library shelves. All of the students knew her as "Grandma Roz." As a tribute to her, 48 kindergateners placed their hand prints on the banner shown below with messages that she is loved and will be missed. |
