Dynamic! Energetic! Engaging! Cindy's program will educate you and tickle your funny bone at the same time. Cindy's smile will brighten the day of any child. Her program is a wonderful learning experience.

Cindy Cook gave a lovely program during March Break, fully engaging a large crowd of children under five, along with parents and grandparents. The auditorium was packed, and she had a high degree of interaction with the audience as they sang and clapped with her. Thanks again for your professionalism!

DEBBIE CHILDS - TPL - AGINCOURT LIBRARY
March 18, 2009 Thank you so much for a fun and entertaining program on March 18. Your spelling songs were a big hit! It was great to see so many children volunteering to be your helpers! The mixed up BINGO words were a favourite. Many of the families who attended had very favourable comments about the show and Agincourt would be very pleased to have you perform again anytime.
LEIGH TURINA - TPL - PARLIAMENT LIBRARY
March 17, 2009 Thanks so much for the show that you did on Monday, March 17 at Parliament Library. The families and daycares loved the songs and dancing. I found your show exactly right for the 1-7 year old age group and your certainly know how to work with them. I appreciated the fact that your were punctual, professional, and above all, cheerful. You even got me into a good mood!
TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY
"For the past three March Breaks, we have had the good fortune to have Cindy Cook visit many branches of the Toronto Public Library, performing her "Sing and Spell Show". Cindy's infectious enthusiasm, as well as her toe tapping songs made her "reading" message extremely palatable."

"On behalf of the Children's Department of the Mississauga Central Library I would like to thank you for your performance in our auditorium at the Central Library. It was an excellent presentation and I would certainly recommend your " Sing and Spell" show to other libraries."
OTTAWA CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL
"Literacy is one of the main objectives of Ottawa Children's Festival. It is so difficult to find a show that is both educational and entertaining that it was a pleasure to be able to present "Sing and Spell with Cindy Cook".
WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
"Thank you for starting off the season's excitement with your Christmas Concert. Children danced happily out of our library, songs in their heads, books in their hands."
THE WORD ON THE STREET
"Your "Sing and Spell" show was entirely appropriate to, and well received by, the thousands of families in attendance at the festival. It was a pleasure having you participate in The Word On The Street."
MARKHAM PUBLIC LIBRARIES
"We have had excellent feedback on your "Sing and Spell" show from both children and parents. We could have sold twice the number of tickets our space permitted and it was great publicity for our Summer Reading Club."
EAST GWILLIMBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY
"The songs and activities were wonderfully appropriate to the age level and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. One little boy brought his Mom back in the afternoon so that he could tell me that it was a "great show".
NORTH BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY
"I would like to thank you for your literacy concert. We had no difficulty selling tickets, and ended up selling out at both performances. You received rave reviews, and North Bay parents have asked when you will be returning to perform again."
GUELPH PUBLIC LIBRARY
"Thank you for making our Saturday programming an enjoyable part of visiting the Guelph Public Library."
SHELBURNE PUBLIC LIBRARY
"I thought it was very thoughtful of you to speak to each and every child after the performance. I know that they thought meeting 'Cindy from Polka Dot Door' was great."
