"Pippa has created an extraordinary program out of ordinary words. Her stories and impersonations make the words come alive. 'The Extraordinary Ordinary' is like a good book -- you want to go back to it because there are so many great parts that you want to revisit and remember. 'The Extraordinary Ordinary' gives you an understanding of the development of languages in the past, while giving you a greater awareness of the words spoken today. We have received many compliments from youth and adults alike thanking Pippa for an enjoyable evening of learning and entertainment. "

"'The Extraordinary Ordinary' was anything but ordinary! It was EXTRAORDINARY! What might be considered by some as a dull subject, Pippa put an extraordinary spin to this topic and delightfully shared with our audience, through prose and song, the origin of words. Pippa was enchanting in her presentation and is a definite must to see. "
