Thank you Celeste, of course you have my permission. I would love a larger audience for my kids. I have over twenty five videos uploaded here. If you're a Kate DiCamillo fan we made videos of five of her books. Please take a look at them. It was a teacher in Africa who encouraged me, via Skype, to read The Magician's Elephant to my class. She felt that the image of the elephant falling from above would be very visual and make for a great movie. What you and she don't know is that I spent 1985-1999 on the road as a full time professional magician. Look forward to hearing more about your project.

This is so excellent!  I would love to visit your classroom!  I am currently working on a dance/theatre piece loosely based on this book that will tour to 2nd-5th grades.  With your permission, I would like to direct classroom teachers to this video so they could think of ways they could do a project with their students. Obviously, you are an excellent filmmaker and editor.  The music is delightful (and funny).  Thank you for being in our children's lives!
