The Amazing Ducky O'Neil was a friendly and funny character who will be remembered by young children for a long time to come... many adults expressed appreciation to the library for having your show here.”
Josh Lachman, Children's Librarian, South Branch Berkeley Public Library.
“..as part of our celebration of Sacramento Public Library's 150th anniversary, (Dr. Solar's) was lively and engaging. It included ventriloquism, and puppets, magic with a live bird and rabbit and nice props such as a Chinese gong and fancy robe that one boy got to wear as Dr. Solar's assistant. Other props reinforced the old-time feel of the show, and its gentle stories about life in the olden days.... I intend to book Dr. Solar's Good Time, Sunshine, Traveling Medicine Show at our library again.”
Christine Davis, Youth Services Librarian, McKinley Library, Sacramento.
“Let me tell you about Dr. Solar! We had the MOST WONDERFUL experience of his magical traveling show during our Summer Reading Program.....we had to set up in the greater part of the library itself. Turned out to be a good thing, as he brought in our biggest crowd ever for a single event and we needed the extra space and chairs. Dr. Solar's costumes, puppets, props and demeanor were professional in every way. He was funny, but never inappropriate and kept the crowd delighted and in control the entire time....”
