a standard for all family collections
author: A.karnoWhen EVER in doubt as for a gift to buy for a child, or a person in recovery or a new mom, this is it. What is so lovely is that the production values and talent are all top notch that people of any age can enjoy this CD. Each story has it's own individual theme, yet they are all comforting to the soul as only timeless stories can be!
Great stories!
author: Bonnie M FooteAmy Friedman came in to give a talk to my undergraduate students in a children's literature class at UCLA. She told a few of her stories and they LOVED it. Needless to say we're also using her CDs! What a great thing for kids and anyone who loves stories.
Miraculous
author: Christine HauserI offered this CD to my friend's son Felipe, after he had loved the first "Tell Me A Story". This is what my friend write to me: "Our afternoons have changed since Felipe got your present: He gets back from school and pokes his brother for only 5min. Then sits for almost 2 hours with his headphones on and listens to the stories over and over… God bless you Christine!!!"

A delightful CD!!My great niece loves the stories as do I.
We LOVE this CD!!!
author: Angela Williams ~ Melting Pot MomsAfter falling in love with "Tell Me A Story", we were so excited for the release of "Animal Magic". It's now my 3 year old's favorite CD! He LOVES "Kerplunk" and the music of "The Tortoise and the Magic Drum". I can not say enough about the value of these CD's -- my son and I have had mini geography lessons, talking about the places these stories take place...he listens to the musical compositions and tries to hum along with the notes...and he loves listening to the animated voices of the actors. They are not only entertaining, but educational too!
Lovely
