JACKALOPE

Hold on to your "listening ears" and get ready for tall tale humor abounding with gardening puns. Unhappy with his ordinary self, Jack asks his fairy god-rabbit for horns. Jack cannot resist a fib, Coyote cannot resist a waiting meal, and Fairy God-rabbit cannot quite master her spells. Tom Stechschulte narrates with the deadpan twang of a Western storyteller. Elongating words and phrases, he heightens the fun of the preposterous situations that envelop Jackalope. He is a ditzy god-rabbit, a conniving villain, and a reformed hero all wrapped into one. Do not miss the alternative endings and the explanatory coda! A.R. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 04]
