The
stories got the children hooked straight away...Jan was able
to quickly build a rapport with the children and the frank
and honest answers to questions was great...excellent use
of common articles for music...every child wanted to be in
the show. Overall a very entertaining and educational show.
Jan demonstrates a diversity and richness of the Australian
character.
