Book Reviews of Lilly's Big Day and Other Stories CD: 9 Stories

Book Review: Best CD for kids I've ever purchased
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this CD. My children are 2 and 4 yrs, and they ask for it every day on our commute. The voices of the narrators are absolutely perfect, (there's just something about hearing "John Boy" from the Waltons tell you a story...Richard Thomas is one of the narrators:).
And I would like to find more work from Christine Ebersole, she is so fabulous, especially the last story, 'Lilly's Big Day'. She captures the voice of a sweet, desperate girl longing to be a flower girl so perfectly, I almost got choked up near the end!
My son adores the first story, 'a weekend with Wendall' and he laughs his head off every time he hears the terrible things Wendall does to Sophie.
I would highly reccomend it!
P.S. Because I'd never read the books, I didn't know until I saw the link here that all these characters are mice! It doesn't say in the CD (except for something about a pink nose and fur, but I just thought that was funny)I think it's great that they're easily imagined either way..
