"Thank you again Mary we have heard wonderful reviews from both the daycare and Bassano School regarding the delivery of your performance. So much lifesaving information in easily digestible portions for our children and youth. I have written a review for you. Mary Lambert’s “Sing out on Fire Safety” performance drives home the fire safety and prevention message in a dynamic way that gets the audience excited and engaged. Through the incorporation for fire personnel, and audience members Mary had the attention of the audience allowing messages of safety, prevention and preparedness to the forefront and provides a platform for participants to continue conversations at home. The Great Escape provokes families to have a safety plan and gives children a voice to encourage these preparations. Thank you Mary, for sharing your energy, excitement and knowledge of Fire Safety. "
- Amanda Barron FCSS Director| Town of Bassano

She smoothly engages everyone in the audience to participate with her infectious enthusiasm and energy. "

"Thanks so much for coming to our library. So glad you got to see so much wildlife on your tour! My feedback is this : You were punctual, very genial, professional and easy to work with. Your directions for set up and take down were clear and concise. Your set up was fast and efficient and you managed to adapt to our small space very easily and seemed happy to do so. During the performance it was great that you got the crowd involved and everyone seemed to be having a good time. This is feedback and testimonials via Angelina (our Summer Reading Club Coordinator who was in the room during the entire performance) : The kids had fun and were encouraged to be interactive. The kids were well behaved and really liked you as a performer. She thought you did a great performance. There was a good variety of songs and the kids liked this (particular favourites were the “Blackfly Boogie” song and “Honey and Jam”) The adventure stories were also well liked. Angelina thought you were very polite and kind. The kids were excited about your merchandise and to get photos with you after the performance and were excited to have your autograph! Hope this feedback helps and good luck with all future endeavours. "

"Mary Lambert is a children's entertainer on par with Fred Penner, Raffi and Sharon, Lois and Bram. I've seen a lot of school concerts in my day, but this one stood out to me for the following reasons. 1. High energy and audience participation. Students K-6 completely engaged the whole hour. (end of June, I might add). 2. The show we watched was themed for Canada Day. Great songs and trivia teaching about Canada. 3. Musically entertaining and quite funny. We enjoyed her voice, action songs and on-stage antics. If you are looking for something to entertain and educate in a light-hearted, fun way, I would not hesitate to book Mary Lambert. "
- Karen Schweighardt, Music Teacher, St. Philip Fine Arts School, Calgary, AB

Mary continues to engage both students and adults with a variety of songs that cover a broad range of styles and subjects.

We can't wait until she travels East again for her next visit!! "
- Debra McMurray, Louborough Public School, Sydenham, ON
"The best part of Mary Lambert is how she encourages parents to participate. It's rare to find entertainment for children where the adults are included. We had a few good laughs and we're still singing out favourite songs. Now we're on the lookout for the next Mary Lambert show! "
- -Niki Tune (Parent) and Project Coordinator Wetaskiwin Early Years Coalition
"It's rare for a children's book to prove itself a gem before the story even begins, but Tabby Toodles' Pirate Adventure does just that. The rousing tale is preceded by a highly amusing glossary of Pirate Lingo and an illustrated cast of characters that captivate readers and leave them hungry for more. That anticipatory excitement proves to be more than justified as this joyful adventure unfolds in playful pirate vernacular youngsters find irresistible. There is merriment on every page as readers follow a happy (mostly female) pirate crew in search of treasure. Zavoc Dayne's gorgeous water color illustrations mesh perfectly with Mary Lambert's delightfully inventive rhymes in portraying an unforgettable group of seafarers as they sing, set sail and maintain a festive mood even in the face of rough weather and a surprise treasure! As Katy, Tabby Toodles and crew so eloquently put it: YO HO HO... a pirate's life for me! YO HO HO... adventures on the sea! YO HO HO... we're searchin' happily!"
- Reviewer - Tillywig 2019 Top Fun Book Award

"Mary came to perform at our National Child Day event in Lamont and her high energy, interactive show was engaging and entertaining. The theme this year was “Right to an Identity†and Mary was able to incorporate this theme very nicely into her routine with the “Name Game†song. The kiddos were super excited and the parents made comments of how excellent the show was. She even had our local Peace Officer up on stage “performing†for the crowd! Thank you Mary! "
- Michelle Andriashyk, Early Steps to Success Coalition, Lamont County Region

Truly a professional in all aspects; we were so glad the Beaumont Credit Union generously sponsored her to kick off our Summer reading Club. "

The students were engaged during the performance and enjoyed singing the songs and participating in the actions. Parents and teachers also enjoyed the songs and participating.

It was a lot of fun and we are still singing the songs in class. I would highly recommend this performer."

We have gotten very good feedback from the teachers and we could see the kids enjoyed it as well. I'm sure there were a large number of parents being questioned when the kids got home that night. "

"Mary Lambert performed for many libraries within the Greater City of Sudbury summer of 2017. No matter if the crowd was large or small, Mary's performance kept the kids engaged from beginning to end! Her energy is contagious and she had the whole room singing and dancing! Her songs are very catchy. I found myself singing them over and over again, even after the performance was over! "Old Macdonald's FUNKY farm, E-I-E-I-OOOOO!!!" "
- Mandi Quinlan, Community Programmer, Greater Sudbury Public Library
"Mary, I just wanted to tell you that everyone thoroughly enjoyed your performance yesterday. I think your presentation is fantastic, entertaining and educational. I think my brother-in-law (Const. Cliffey) really enjoyed his role as well ;) I know one of our teachers was commenting that she would really like to see you back again, so we will have to work on that next school year. Enjoy your summer! "
- Lori MacKinnon Allan Johnstone School, Hardisty, AB
"My grade one students love Tabitha Marion Evelyn! This book is a fabulous asset to any early education teacher. Not only does this book teach young readers the foundations of opposites, rhyme and rhythm; it also teaches the students about emotions, acceptance and love. Students can easily identify with the character Tabby Toodles, a rambunctious energetic child, who loves to do the opposite of everything her parents say. Despite her stubbornness, and occasional outburst, she is loved unconditionally. This book provides a powerful example to students and teachers about personal identity and being accepted for who they are. What wonderful lessons we can learn from Tabitha Marion Evelyn (Tabby Toodles)! "
- Lisa Kruk, Grade One Teacher, Linsford Park School, Leduc, AB
"Cute, catchy, and contagious are just a few of the words that come to mind while reading debut author Mary Lambert’s new book “Tabitha Marion Evelynâ€. This delightful book is an ideal read-aloud as the writing has an uplifting rhythm that will attract the young and the young at heart. Tabitha Marion Evelyn is a charming, loving, and beautifully illustrated story that is sure to become a favorite. "
- Susan Parkinson Calmar Public Library
"Your book is a hit with my granddaughter. She asks to read it aloud whenever she comes over. The images are delightful and the repetition throughout the book has the audience shouting out the opposites before the page is turned. The predictive style is fun to read over and over. "
- Susannah Kotyk, Thorsby Library
"It was great to meet you and especially have you come to Bashaw to ‘entertain the troops’ ! The kids were still pumped days later. Your music quickly left the library. One young mom was desperate for some kids’ music CDs to play to her 5 month old who has decided he doesn’t like car travel unless she sits in the backseat and sings to him ! Their last trip had her out of breath so now it will be YOUR fabulous voice he hears. ( Lucky kid ). "
- Cindy Hunter, Bashaw Library
"I am thrilled you have Purple People Eater on your new CD. I have a very fond memory from my childhood, sitting at a cafe with my parents having milkshakes, and I used some of my allowance money to put Purple People Eater on the juke box. It's amazing what memories/images music can bring back."
- Cheers, Mark Bergin, Writer and Photographer, Kingston, ON
"We loved having Mary come to visit our library. Her presentation was imaginative, creative and engaging. Our theme was Canada 150 and she tailored her concert to fit our theme exactly. The children loved her dynamic personality and had a fantastic time with her interactive performances. We had 2 concerts, one for preschool children and the other for our local Grade 3 students. She was able to adapt her concerts for both age groups and entertained them both equally well. A great time was had by all, we highly recommend her performances to other libraries. Thanks! "
- Liz Bectell, Children's Librarian, Jim and Mary Kearl Library, Cardston, AB

Students left the presentation feeling happy and were heard singing some of her songs throughout the halls."

"This is what Michele Snyder (library children's program facilitator) said about the program: 'The final activity for the Jim and Mary Kearl Library's Summer Reading Program was Mary Lambert's "Going Places" concert. This exciting, interactive concert had all the children (and some of the parents) clapping dancing and singing along with old and new songs that fit the "Going Places" theme. Everyone had a great time and would attend another of Mary's concerts in a heartbeat' Thank you for helping making our finale a success!"
- Donna Beazer, Library Manager, Cardston, AB

- Jennifer Dodsworth, Teacher, Hinton, AB
"Mary was a joy and delight to have perform at our Family Literacy Day celebrations here at the library. Her performance was funny and energetic and her music was both simple and catchy!

We will definitely hire Mary again in the near future as she is one of the best performers we have ever had!"

She was experienced with interacting with a young audience and involved kids and adults up on stage. A variety of songs, props, actions, and stories kept the crowd entertained for an hour. It was an entirely enjoyable experience from our very first interaction with Mary. Highly recommended!"
- Barbara Longair, Manager: Childrens Services, Lethbridge Public Library
"Mary Lambert is a terrific entertainer, not only for children, but for whole families! She is absolutely fun and light-hearted, and engages the audience to truly experience joyfulness while she is perfomring. She was able to draw the shyest children and the usually-reserved fathers to the stage, put smiles on every face, young and old alike, and still was patient, sensitive, and careful to not push people beyond their comfort zone. We are so eager to have her return to our area! She is a pleasure to work with, arranging and coordinating the logistics of performing. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and adaptive for our ever-changing situation. I cannot say enough great things about the Mary Lambert experience! Thank you Mary for your time, energy, and infectious enthusiasm!"
- Rebecca Fitzsimmons, Central Peace Early Childhood Coalition Community Liaison

- Heather Langenhahn, Principal, Meadowlark School, Edmonton, AB

- Michelle Duffy, Parent Link, St. Paul

- Tim Johnson, Vice-Principal, Ecole Connaught School, Medicine Hat.
"The kids loved your performance! They especially enjoyed the hats that your volunteers got to wear. I heard lots about \"Buzzy the Busy Bully Bee\" song so I will have to use it in my music program. Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm in your performances!"
- Trudy Henry, Principal, Jessie Duncan Elementary School, Penhold, AB
"Mary was fantastic! Mary was very easy to get along with and had everything ready for her performance. The children and families loved her. We had children ranging in age from 2-6 years and Mary had them all involved in silly songs and dances. At one point, she had two unsuspecting parents getting up and being part of her show. Would I have her back? ABSOLUTLEY!"
- Jo Ann Belzile, Director YMCA Castle Downs Child Care, Edmonton, AB
"This performance held the attention of students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 easily. Students were engaged and entertained. I loved how she incorporated students and staff from the audience into her performance.

Thank you!!"
- Carolyn Meyer, Music Teacher, Warburg School
