Interested in booking Rob for a
school or library visit, festival or conference?
Here's what educators and librarians are saying:
“My students still talk about your many voices for chapter 3 and
a few of them are so engrossed in Zorgamazoo I have to pull the
story from their hands for a lesson!”
- Ms. Berends, Grenoble PS (Toronto)
“The students were very excited after meeting Rob and enjoyed the
humorous presentation along with their teachers. Whenever we have a
few minutes, we try to read a little bit of the book. The students
never get tired of Katrina!”
- Amena Khan, Yorkwoods PS (Toronto)
“Captivating and Informative! Rob’s presentation had great
motivational techniques for parents to use while reading with their
children. His reading from Zorgamazoo captured our imaginations. A
wonderful presentation!”
