California puppets is proud to be the one stop resource for library shows and summer reading programs in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, including the Contra Costa county and San Jose. Our highly engaging and educational shows provide the ultimate kids entertainment for libraries and summer reading programs. Being a children’s entertainer and part of kids public library summer reading programs for the past 12 years, Jungle Joe is adept in connecting with children and encouraging them to read. He is skilled at combining storytelling and ventriloquism in a dynamic and highly effective way that motivates kids to read and to learn. Our library shows are equally entertaining and educational for both kids and adults alike.
Let your library patrons help cook up the fun this summer. The kids will help gather the necessary ingredients: Summer Reading sign up, reading log, library prizes, puppets, illusions and a bunch of fresh fun. Mix it all up for a Delicious Summer Reading Program.
Yeah! Jungle Joe is firing up the grill this summer. We will meet Sami Soufle', the French chef with a ferocious appetite for reading. We will also meet Peanut the Elephant, he will tell us how he developed his amazing memory through the power of reading. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
The show will also feature the most loved Magic Book. Where the kids will help write a story that comes alive right before their eyes. We will also meet the biggest book worm in the world, King Cobra. Through the power of reading, this small book worm has become a force to be reckoned with. All this and much more awaits your audience in this engaging and fully interactive 45 minute performance.

- Dear Joe:
Thank you for another great show this week at the Livermore Public Library!
When I asked my story time audience today if they've been to the show, you should have seen their eyes light up when they said, " Jungle Joe!' They had such a great time watching you and joining in. As always, you are very pleasant & easy to work with, and you really added something special to our summer reading game. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a funny, entertaining puppet program.
Thanks again!
Best Wishes,
