| “A superior program which allows the children to actively participate, and is enjoyable for the teachers as well. Outstandingly rating in all categories!"
BOCES K Teacher Evaluation, Northedge School, Plainedge School District
“You have a talent for making children laugh, participate and learn. Children loved that they got to be part of the show, and were singing your songs in the hallways for days afterwards. You deftly combine fun and learning, for Pre-K students and teachers, alike!”
Mary Schyler, Pre-K Cultural Arts Representative
“It’s been my pleasure and privilege to bring Anna. E. Kravis cultural arts programs to the children in my care, over the past 5 years. Her comprehensive, entertaining and extremely valuable assembly programs for our K-2 children are interactive, kinesthetic and memorable…eliciting raves from students and teachers!”
Karen Aimes, Principal, Uncua School
“Thank you for the wonderfully creative programs you provided for 2nd grade students at my school, during the many years we worked together. You not only met the NYS standards for the Arts, but fulfilled my unique requirements for both literacy and creative expression for my students. Children enjoyed the program, and teachers repeatedly praised the integration of literacy and the arts.”
Carol Villano, Grade 2 Reading Specialist, Washington Drive Elementary School
“Rarely have I heard such glowing praise from children and teachers, alike, for your perfectly age-appropriate, outstanding Pre-K performances!”

This
most impressive program actively engaged our students, staff and
visiting families. Anna is bilingual and sings beautifully. Her
presentation incorporates a variety of learning styles, i.e. auditory,
kinesthetic and visual, etc. The age appeal is Pre K through 2nd
grade. I highly recommend Anna E. Kravis for all Early Childhood
programs!

“Anna E. Kravis’ bilingual show was the highlight of Children’s Fiesta Day! Her perfectly balanced, culturally inclusive program enchanted children of all ages, and their families, building a joyful bridge to the diverse Latino cultures in our community. We look forward to Anna’s return next year for Children’s Fiesta Day!”

“Anna E. Kravis’ dedication and passion for entertaining children shines through! Her interactive performance incorporated music, puppets, and lessons about other cultures. Anna performed songs in Spanish, which was very appropriate for Giggles Children’s Theater, and our largely Hispanic community. Her program was accessible to children of all abilities, encouraging special needs children to participate in whatever way they could. I am honored to recommend Anna E. Kravis!
Emily Goodman, Giggles Children’s Theater at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, Paterson, NJ. |

This
wonderful collection of charming, delightful original songs, promoting
friendship and brotherhood, should be on the shelves of all libraries!
Elementary School Library Collection
Composer, arranger and performer, Anna
E. Kravis, offers activity songs that are also learning tools,
emphasizing color, letters and opposites. Her voice is very pleasing,
and the music is beautifully arranged
effective as a concept
learning tool, and enjoyable as a sing-along.
Booklist American Library Association
Catchy, appealing original songs, with age appropriate lyrics!
School Library Journal
Tots Tunes & Happy To Be Me is a family
favorite! My children request it every day, and love to sing along!
I love that the songs offer positive values, and 2 of the songs
actually have my children singing in Spanish!

“This compilation of eleven original songs by Anna E. Kravis focuses on personal growth from the healing perspective of love, with themes both personal and universal. A very highly recommended, mind calming, heart warming and soul soothing, exceptional CD.”
Midwest Book Review
“Journey of the Heart is an amazing CD. I was quite overwhelmed with the haunting beauty of the songs, especially Inheritance and Eric’s Song. How many times I have heard “Over the Rainbow”. Anna’s version has its own stamp on it, and is wonderful.”
Connie Smith, Librarian, Massapequa Library
“Your songs, like your life, are inspiring.”
Pat Rodegast, author of Emmanuel’s books
“These wonderful songs bring messages of love and healing. From the song of reconciliation with her father (Inheritance), to songs with hope for a peaceful world, love heals and conquers all.”
Alice Hopper Epstein, author of Mind, Fantasy and Healing
