GIANTS!

Weiss presents four classic folktales about giants, complemented by original songs and music. The storyteller's rich, warm and expressive narrative voice draws listeners into the heart of each story. Insightful characterizations, with accompanying vocal changes, enliven. The stories inspire reflection on values by examining such themes as "appearances are deceiving." Two stories are particularly enjoyable and are enhanced by the accompanying music: Wilde's "The Selfish Giant" and "The Fantastical Tale of Finn MacCool." This audiobook is appropriate for family listening or for young listeners between the ages of 5 and 12. R.M. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB 97]
