FISHING IN THE AIR

by Sharon Creech, Chris Raschka [ill] | Read by Jason Harris

Children Ages 4-6 • 11 min. • Unabridged • © 2003

Fishing gear, food, and river, along with father and son, are featured in this magical childhood tale. Jason Harris characterizes the son with a high voice and uses his normal speaking voice for the father. Natural features turn into other objects: trees into soldiers, birds into angels. Insect sounds enhance the story. The sound of the crickets chirping brings listeners right into the woods with father and son. The page-turning sounds on one side are loud and clear, facilitating use by young listeners. A.G.H.
