THE VELVETEEN RABBIT by Margery Williams, read by Meryl Streep
This version of the classic children’s story is a gem! Streep’s tone is gentle, her pace slow and relaxing, her reading sensitive. Add to this perfect reading George Winston’s soft and lovely musical accompaniment and you have a treasure that will be loved and enjoyed over and over again, like the velveteen rabbit himself.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by Lewis Carroll, read by Alan Bennett
Here is nourishment for the word lover's soul. Alan Bennett's extraordinary narration sets Lewis Carroll’s classic tale apart from the merely good, and even from the merely fantastic. His enunciation is crystal clear, and his pacing, pauses, and emphasis are right on the mark.

ONCE by Morris Gleitzman, read by the author
Gleitzman reads the tale of Felix, a Jewish boy who runs away from the convent where his parents had him hidden in a gentle and utterly alive manner emphasizing his skill as a consummate storyteller. This story of children in the Holocaust is poignant and powerful without being frightening or graphic.

THE TRUE MEANING OF CRUMBFEST, By David Weale, read by Antonia Francis
This quaint tale of the joy of Christmas and Eckhart the young mouse is narrated by five-year-old Antonia Francis, who recorded it for her mother's radio program. The recording is wonderfully refreshing!
