Historia4 out of 5 stars 11
My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen—as the rumors insisted—in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. On the first evening of the ball, I didn’t meekly help my “evil” stepmother and stepsisters primp and preen or watch forlornly out the window as their carriage rolled off toward the palace. I had other preparations to make.

Seamless voicing of characters brought the story to life!
Revisado: 12-01-23
I loved the unique voice and feelings of each character and how the narrator moved seamlessly from one to the other. It made me feel present. The story kept my attention even when my hands were busy with other tasks. And in gripping moments I had to stop and just listen.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 5
In the village of Liver-and-Onions, there was a Potato Face Blind Man who used to play an accordion on the corner near the post office. The sometime narrator of these tales, he transports readers and listeners to Rootabaga Country, where the railroad tracks go from straight to zigzag, the pigs wear bibs, and the Village of Cream Puffs floats in the wind, looking like a little hat that you could wear on the end of your thumb. Carl Sandburg, the beloved folk chronicler and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, invented these stories for his own daughters.

Tickles the Imagination
Revisado: 08-10-20
And if you’re listening carefully, will your funny bone as well.
I love Carl Sandburg’s invented language and can almost feel the twinkle in his eye when listening. Zura Johnson’s reading of these stories is clear and helpful. Her voice, and phrasing bring sense to these nonsensical stories so they can be enjoyed to their fullest. If you have your children, or grandchildren listen to them, - you might provide then with paper and paint. Or in the evening- one chapter at bedtime- could serve as a dessert for their day. As an educator, mother and grandmother, I’d say these readings are superb. Linda Young
