America's Tallest Tales

Teacher Reviews



"It was the most rewarding experience that I have had as a teacher for a long time. The kids did an extraordinary job; they were so proud of each other. They were truly thrilled to be a part of it. Parents loved the production, and were very proud too. One dad was crying at the end, because he was so shocked and proud of his daughter. Thanks for your awesome work, everyone here in our little town loves the play. Lots of work, but well worth the effort."

---Betsy Randall, Teacher (5th grade), Elllsworth Elementary, Ellsworth, MI


"We laugh every rehearsal! The kids are very into deciding what props are needed most. This year we've had very limited time to get a 6th grade musical in. The students took their ideas and ran with them---doing outside work on their own and surprising me with their creativity and drive!"

---Michele Carle Bisch, Teacher (6th grade), St. Ann School, Cincinnati, OH


"Just letting you know that our presentation of America's Tallest Tales in May with forty-two third graders here in Marshall, MI was just incredible. Thank you, thank you! They absolutely loved the songs, the skits, etc. They looked and sounded tremendous! I was so incredibly proud! We packed our gym with parents, grandparents, etc. Even our superintendent attended! I know that the kids came away with some wonderful memories that will probably last a lifetime! We play to do another Bad Wolf musical next year!"

---Jennefer Bachelder, Teacher (3rd grade), Shearman Elementary, Marshall, MI


"I loved everything about it! The songs were contagious and the lines clever. I am not a performer at all but was able to pull it off easily. It gave a tremendous boost to the kids' self-esteem and class morale! Passive kids suddenly 'shined.' Plus the parents loved it."

---Kelli Finigan, Teacher (4th grade), White Oak School, Westlake Village, CA


"The easy-to-follow script, catchy songs, and added humor make the play production a delight for all (students, teachers, and parents)! Besides using the plays to give my students another avenue to strengthen/inspire their creativity, the plays work well as supplemental textbooks/teaching aids. The students love to learn the information in the play format."

---Lisa Boothe, Teacher (3rd/5th grade), Carl Hankey School, Mission Viejo, CA


"I just wanted to say thank you. It was a huge hit! I was told it was the best performance someone had ever seen at an elementary school. It went so well, my fellow third grade teacher and I are planning on getting the combo pack!"

---Charlene Burns, Teacher (3rd grade), Irving Elementary School, Joplin, MO


"I really liked the 'hokey-ness' of the music. My students needed to get a bit improper! We sang and danced---it was the talk of the town."

---Christina Clark, Teacher (5th/6th), Romer Corners Intermediate, Oregon, WI


"The students loved this! Great songs."

---Patricia Bell, Teacher (4th/5th grade), Norma Coombs School, Pasadena, CA.


"Not only do my students learn so much about the people in the play, but they also become so much more confident in their speaking ability!"

---Gina Rafael, Teacher (6th grade) Leal Elementary, Cerritos, CA
