A literacy program that proves 'Reading is Magic.' The goal of the program is to aid you in your efforts to motivate your children by promoting the fun of recreational reading and the use of the library. Specific books will be discussed in this program include The Secret Garden, Alexander and the Terrible Horrible Very Bad Not so Good Day, The Grouchy Ladybug, The Velveteen Rabbit, and others. Through the magic and entertainment, these books will come to life. A list of these books will be provided before the show to motivate the children to read and do their homework. If they can answer questions asked during the show about the books, they will be able to help with the magic and be a volunteer!

“It has been our pleasure at the Pikes Peak Library District to have Mark Weidhaas, Inspector Magic provide many performances including: Summer Reading Programs, the Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration events and special programs such as Dr. Seuss. Mark is highly professional and totally engages the children while weaving entertainment and educational elements. In our programs, he deals seamlessly with a broad spectrum of ages. In almost every program for us he includes a reading connection and other educational ties when appropriate. I highly recommend him to schools and libraries." Vicki Fox, Children’s Services Manager, Pikes Peak Library District, January 26, 2005
