Tiny World Shows are a series of slide shows
created by David Allen, a professional photographer who has entertained
and educated children for many years with his close-up photographs
that compliment the Ontario Curriculum. Tiny World offers your students
a different and stimulating look at a variety of topics and brings them
live and interactively to your children when you want it.
Tiny World Shows offer these unique features and advantages:
And here's what Instructors, Librarians and Teachers say about our
Tiny World Shows: "David Allen's Tiny World slide show was a real treat. David customized his show for us to complement the library's Summer Reading Club theme "Dragons, Books and Quests". The audience made up of boys and girls between 6 and 12 years old, were held in thrall by his beautiful and intriguing slides." Theo Heras, Children's Librarian, Lillian H.
Smith Branch, Toronto Public Library.
"Children loved your creative photographs. They were engaged and loved being able to participate. We plan to have you back soon! " Lise Breuker, Children's Librarian, Woodside
Square Branch, Toronto Public Library.
"Thank you for providing your lively and entertaining program at our Library. I was very impressed with the artistic quality of the photos, as well as the educational information humourously presented in the narrative. The children were enthralled with the new information and concepts introduced in your inter-active presentation. " Bev Quinn, Children's Services. Taylor Creek
Branch, Toronto Public Library.
"David Allen's show was thoroughly unique, delightful and an enjoyable experience David cleverly created a show that complemented the themes of the 2004 Summer Reading Club "Dragons, Books and Quests". His pictures were fantastic, and David has the ability to bring them alive through an entertaining, educational and engaging presentation. " Joanna Liebgott, Children's Services. Thorncliffe
Park Branch, Toronto Public Library.
"A note of thanks for your visit to the Eatonville Library. The children at our library were enthralled with your beautiful slides. Your presentation was lively, educational and best of all allowed participation. Your take on many everyday objects was truly unique and it introduced to the children (and adults) a whole new way of looking at the world. Thanks again and much success with your shows. " Kim Pook, Children's Services. Eatonville Branch,
Toronto Public Library.
"Our Willow children adored David Allen of Tiny World. From the youngest to the oldest all the kids eagerly participated in trying to guess what the pictures really were. Many times they did better than the teachers! Mr. Allen kept his presentation varied and his pace was just right. We only wished it could have gone on longer. This unique and stimulating program is both highly enjoyable and highly instructive. It is a great way to enrich the curriculum". Tammy Barrett, Principal, Willow Academy.
"The children in our group were JK-Grade 3 and all of them were able to participate actively. The adults were also able to stay interested and involved. We appreciated your straightforward and respectful manner with the children and the combination of information, humour and artistry in the photographs." Laura Schein Principal Teacher, The School House.
"David Allen's colourful and interesting slide shows initiate discussion and provoke thought, and provide an excellent springboard for further curriculum related activities." Tanya Chatterjee Teacher, Swansea Public School.
"David Allen presented the Tiny World slide shows at the Runnymede
P.S. Library. The students thoroughly enjoyed the presentations and it
was very appropriate for JK to Grade 3. Some students are still talking
about the 'cool' things they had seen. One of the Grade 1 teacher's said
it fits right into the curriculum." Vangelia Nitsis Librarian, Runnymede Public School.
"David Allen's presentation to my Grade 2 class involved every
student with its imaginative use of the images and David's lively questioning." Laura Brocklebank Teacher, Palmeston Public School.
"David Allen brought his 'Tiny World Show' to our Nursery Program and it was a resounding success with the kids. The photographs used in the Show are extremely thought provoking and held the children's interest from beginning to end…. I highly recommend this program for anyone trying to find a hands-on alternative to teaching children." Chris Dymond, Summer Nursery School Co-ordinator,
Swansea C.R.C.
"David Allen has a marvelous way of animating children and
tweaking their curiosity about the world through his interesting photographs….
His slide shows were always an educational treat- even for the adults!
I heartily recommend him to any age group!!" Tara Yelle, Runnymede District Commissioner,
