The afternoon's entertainment

Kenn Kweder

Philadelphia area guitar legend, Kenn Kweder returns for his third year at the Princeton Children's Book Festival. Kenn's illustrious career began in the 1970's and continues today.

Kenn Kweder is still known for his live performances that have been described variously as "a circus," "a riot," and even "a religious experience." And, once again, he has transformed that energy, intelligence, and passion onto a record that reaffirms his unique position in contemporary music.

Joel Frankel

Singer, songwriter and children's entertainer Joel Frankel is a big kid who's been entertaining smaller kids and their parents for nearly two decades. By combining his musical talents with his teaching background, Frankel has developed a creative and stimulating musical performance that captivates listeners of all ages.

Frankel's four children's albums, "Don't Sit On A Cactus," "I Can't Sit Still," "JoJo's Barnyard Bash" and "Ship of Chocolate Chips, have received numerous awards including the Parent’s Choice award and the Children's Music Web Award. Joel grew up in Princeton and now lives in the Chicago area.

Danny Adlerman & Kevin Kammeraad

Join Danny & Kevin; who are authors, illustrators, musicians and old friends for a special musical performance. These two rarely get the chance to perform together but we are very fortunate to have this talented pair play their tunes at the Book Festival.

Books, Other Entertainment and More

The Princeton Children's Book Festival has partnered with Barnes & Noble of Princeton, NJ who will provide books for sale in the Community Room the day of the event. Have your favorite author or illustrator autograph a book for you.

We will have face painting, a unicyclist, jugglers and a slight of hand musician during the afternoon to WOW the audience! Stay tuned for more details and a full schedule.

The Princeton Children's Book Festival is made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Princeton Public Library and the partnership of Packet Publications, Barnes & Noble booksellers and The Bank of Princeton.
