What a great tool for beginning readers to enjoy stories and learn to love books and reading! Mark does an amazing job reading these Arnold Lobel books. His reading gives life to the stories and makes them really interesting. He gives each character its own personality, and blends humor into the reading. It is really fun and entertaining listening to the stories (whether with the books open or without). We cannot recommend Mark's reading more highly!The most amazing reading is the "Tear-Water Tea" in the "Owl at Home" book. Mark's reading is really humorous, and you cannot help but smiling as you listen.I just need to mention that the age group suggestion is incorrect on this page. Much younger children can enjoy these audio books. My son is 4 years old and English is his 2nd language. He enjoys the books and Mark's reading immensely. I imagine for native speakers, even younger children can enjoy the stories.
My children and I love to listen to this recording of stories from Arnold Lobel. The stories are clever, innocent, and so appropriate for children; and yet I love to listen to them too. They talk about friendship and love and teach many good, wholesome things. Arnold Lobel was such a great children's book author. And Mark Linn-Baker makes the stories come alive.
Charming reading of the stories by Arnold Lobel, the author of these beloved books. My grandson (4 1/2) listens to these CDs again and again. Having a CD allows him to find and play the discs on his own audio player by himself in his own room. He is entertained and not bothering his older brother for lengthy periods of time and also give his mother a break. I will definetly be purchasing more audio recordings for him and other grandchildren.
We enjoy both the Frog and Toad and Mouse Tails audio sets so much we bought this collection of Arnold Lobel's other stories as well. This set has a different narrator (Arnold Lobel is the reader of Frog and Toad and Mouse Tails) but the voices are similar and this narrator is wonderful. To be honest I started freaking out a little when we came to the story "Uncle Elephant", which begins with the young elephant learning that his parents are lost at sea (presumed dead). This is not a topic I was eager to introduce my 2 and 5 year olds to, but I trust Arnold Lobel so I gritted my teeth and kept driving. The way uncle elephant handles his nephews feelings is so low key and touching I was crying my eyes out, and when the parents return alive (yay!) the strength of the relationship between the uncle and nephew is just wonderful. Just like everything that traumatizes us tender parents, my kids had no reaction to my inner trauma, they just love the stories.
These are cute stories, my kids really enjoyed them. They are the same style as frog and toad stories. One thing to note- if you haven't read them, they do use "dummy" and "idiot" (I think those were the two insults) in one of the stories.
While I absolutely adore the books in this collection, I don't care for this audio version. The production is very 'harsh', very quiet bits and other startlingly loud bits. My kids like listening to audiobooks at bedtime, but they get startled awake by the loud bits if they've fallen asleep before the cd is over.
After reading to my own children and now to my grandchildren, I often encourage listening to excellent books on audio CD to fall asleep....or to relax if unable to sleep on cue ! This collection is a favorite. One of my sons is now 40+ and he was laughing about "tear water tea" , a reference to Owl at Home. Now, his son (3.5) often requests this very same story. Great to reinforce good listening habits....not TV....so the mind can imagine. Imagining is becoming a lost art so encourage it with stories on CD.
My girls know some of these stories from their doctor's waiting room. They got this CD for Christmas and it has been a big hit. They are 6 and 8 and both enjoy listening to the stories before bed.
