THE JAMIE LEE CURTIS AUDIO COLLECTION

All of Jamie Lee Curtis's books included in this audio collection affirm the young child. Each story delves into a special child-important area, whether it be the first days of an adoption, childhood moods that are so intensely experienced, or the emerging sense of self. The whimsical WHERE DO BALLOONS GO? follows the travels of an escaped balloon. Rhyme and repetition are writer's tools incorporated into each story and are comforting and confirming to the listener. Two delightful songs performed by Margaret Dorn and Katie Spencer will tug at the heartstrings of adult listeners. The personal quality of Curtis's books begs interaction between reader and listener. Curl up together--adult and child--to listen. Better yet, have a copy of one of the books, with Laura Cornell's fanciful illustrations, in hand. A.R.
