THE BIG BOOK FOR OUR PLANET

This anthology of short stories, essays and poems by twenty-six children's authors celebrates Mother Earth. The hardcover book is beautifully illustrated by well-known children's artists. Since part of its impact comes from the combination of author and illustrator, the audiocassette should be paired with the book for maximum enjoyment and effectiveness. The readers do a good job; they speak clearly, and their presentations match the characters of the pieces they read. The changing voices ease the transition from one piece to the next and help keep the audience involved. Proceeds from the sale of both book and cassette go to organizations promoting peace and ecological living. L.R.S. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 94]
