STARFISH MAGIC REVIEWS

‘We have been entertained by Starfish Magic at our Christmas show for the last five years. We LOVE them! Highly entertaining for the children as well as interactive! We always book next year's show straight after this year!!’ Sharon Mills, Sunnynook Preschool

‘Very interactive. The children were really involved. Great show. Children loved it. Parents left humming one of the tunes.’

Bronnie Spencer, Oratia Kindergarten

‘This was a fantastic show. Lots of opportunities for child interaction.' Carl Mullochy, Pakuranga Kindergarten

'My two boys (6 ½ & nearly 5) and I have now seen four Starfish Magic performances in the last two years. We are total supporters. Starfish Magic’s flamboyant and original creativity make for thoroughly enjoyable, fun interactive performances. I get as much out of the shows as my boys do. It is a unique and affordable outing that we can enjoy together. They truly inspire youngsters to share their imagination, dance, song and spontaneity. I look forward to our next Starfish Magic experience.' Wendy Taylor

‘A fantastic show – the kids were engaged the whole time and loved the stories and songs. We would definitely have Starfish Magic again.'

'Your performances and the Water Cycle ceremony were a highlight of each day. I was continually amazed and delighted with the 'mosh pit' that formed in front of the stage as you performed. Each child was totally engaged and involved. It was engaging, educational and respectful.'

Star Fairy's Top Secret Guide to Fairyland

Written by Karen Jarvis. Illustrated by Alex Snellgrove

'Karen Jarvis (aka Star Fairy) performs in the entertaining duo StarFish. After years of bringing Fairyland and other fantastical worlds to life in her performances, she has now packed a stack of stories, poems, activities and games into an annual-style collection, with delicate but vibrantly coloured illustrations by Australian illustrator Alex Snellgrove. The stories will need to be read aloud, or alone by a reasonably competent reader, but this will be a long lasting treasure for any fairy-made child. 4+ (read aloud), 8+ (read alone).'
