'Today was an absolute success. Our children were absolutely enamored with all your animals and my co-workers were beyond complimentary regarding you and your program. We are booking you again next year. I can not thank you enough. Lesley Sylvia Kingston Hill Charter School
'Dave Marchetti's program is fun and informative! We're always fascinated at how he can hand animals to young children and they automatically understand and mirror his gentle nature and approach. Dave's love of animals and his ability to educate the audience in a respectful and engaging way is why we keep hiring him year after year, he's incredible.' Aimee Fontaine Children's Librarian Exeter Public Library
