Thanks so much for this awesome review, Sarah!
"My son’s 4th birthday plans got upended by the COVID-19 quarantine and we ended up booking The Great Zucchini for a Virtual Zoom show.
It was an absolute delight and well worth the money! My son was regularly collapsing back on the couch he was laughing so hard and you could audibly hear our next door neighbor (age 5) laughing from his house. It’s been over a week since the party and my son continues to quote funny things the Great Zucchini said in his show.
I was able to invite relatives from far away and received many positive responses from the adults on the call. The parents have sent me their kids reactions to the show and for the adults on the call without kids - they have expressed delight in watching the individual responses of the kids on the call (watching it in gallery view).
One parent told me they’d go to a birthday party that was solely just a playback of the kids reacting to the Great Zucchini and the “best time they’ve had on zoom”.
I highly recommend the Great Zucchini and will always be grateful for the opportunity to come together with friends and family from afar."

A mom just sent me this great video that I could share of her son watching me on zoom, nothing like a great belly laugh.
Indoors or out, large space or small, The Great Zucchini makes sure your children have a fantastic time!

“Can you imagine not having read Goodnight Moon, Ezra Jack Keats books, or Beatrix Potter? Though they are children’s books, our lives are enriched by experiencing them. His show is the same.
“I saw him and it was magical. It was like seeing a unicorn that you know lives in the area somewhere and only a few are lucky enough to run into it.
“He’s a toddler whisperer.”
– Zac Gomez, parent & teacher
