LISTEN TO SOUND CLIP!
With ear-popping and utterly entrancing hyperbole, these retellings of classic American tall tales will conjure up outrageous and detailed images in the minds of anyone listening.
Paul Bunyan's parents have to milk 25 cows for the milk he needs as a newborn; Pecos Bill thinks he is a coyote and has the fleas to prove it (long story); and Davy Crockett is much larger than life than you'd ever imagined. Truly, every child should hear these tales. Sensitively retold and full of life, they are Americana at its best.There is also nothing quite like hearing what goes through Pandora's mind when, during the time when Mother Earth was young, all was sweetness and light, there were no adults, and there was nothing for children to do but play all day long, a mysterious box arrives at her home. A package with voices that beckon her to open it, which she can't resist doing. As we come to learn, it contained the whole collection of earthly sorrows. Once again, the descriptions of what comes to pass are thought-provoking and magical in their own way. The good news is that even though Pandora's actions changed the world forever more (in not such good ways), hope, too, was in that box—and it is hope that we humans can turn to time after time to see us through. Truly well-told and important stories for all growing minds.
