Project Overview

Professor Marvel's World of Wonders provides a creative and interactive atmosphere where kids quickly learn that through reading anything is possible. The adventure begins with the professor traveling through India (courtesy of "Around the World in 80 Days") and then onto England to introduce the kids to "The Secret Garden." The kids will gasp as they witness a rose bush blooming right in front of their eyes. From there on, it's non-stop action as eight different books are featured and then illustrated with magic and illusion woven throughout their pages--magic especially designed to illustrate each book introduced during the show. Topical and classical books are selected based upon a graduated scale for kindergarten through fifth grade.
