Title: Cockroach Party

Publisher's Summary:

You went to sleep with MacDonald and Scholtz's previous recording Tuck Me in Tales: Bedtime Stories from Around the World. Now wake up with Cockroach Party!

Editorial Reviews:

In this entertaining collection of fables from all over the world, Margaret Read MacDonald is a wonderfully energetic presence who will keep children rapt and amused. MacDonald performs with remarkable wit and verve throughout this diverse assemblage, such as the Siberian story of an old bear and helpful chipmunk, or a Palestinian tale of a lovesick cricket searching for the right mate. Richard Scholtz also provides whimsical musical accompaniment on autoharp, dulcimer, and cardboard box drum, and when added to MacDonald's charismatic performance, Cockroach Party becomes an even more magical experience.

Critic Reviews:

"Playful and compelling rhythms invite children to sing and play with them." (School Library Journal)

Editorial Reviews:

A seemingly fatherless young boy searches for his dad, but must prove his worthiness in a series of trials before he can find him. Caldecott Medalist Gerald McDermott retells this ancient Pueblo story in a calm yet energetic style, with wind instruments, keyboards, and nature sounds playing alongside his words. Children using the app version will enjoy watching McDermott's colorful, geometric scenes move by while they listen to the simple but powerful tale. A nice way to teach children about the importance of overcoming challenges.

Members Reviews:

The background music too loud, blank part too long

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Story is good legend, but the presentation would have been better if an older, Native American voice would have been used.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The legend was written well, but it would have been nice to hear the happenings during the four trials.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It should have been a native American elder's voice.

Was Arrow to the Sun worth the listening time?

It was an interesting legend.

Any additional comments?

I am having trouble getting a native American elder with a gravelly voice do my book, Kokopelli: Dream Catchers of an Ancient. I hope to find that man or woman that can convey that special rendition.

Excellent book to add to my collection of Ezra Jack ...

Excellent book to add to my collection of Ezra Jack Keats books. I am very satisfied with the product and the seller.

Four Stars

Great classic story for our Keats unit in the classroom.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

I am directing a musical based on this charming book. I wanted to share the original inspiration with the children and I couldn't find this book in a store - anywhere! I found it here at a reasonable price and it arrived in time for the first rehearsal. Thanks!

The Trip

Any child who's had to move to a new neighborhood can sympathize with Louie, the main character of "The Trip". Feeling lonely on Halloween, the boy creates a city scene from construction paper and an old shoebox. As the title of the book suggests, Louie takes a night-time "trip" back to his old neighborhood by pretending to fly his toy plane there. As he wanders the familiar streets he encounters some strange individuals. He runs away, but they catch up with him. Luckily, a familiar feature on one of them clues Louie in on their identities. One of the things I enjoy most about Mr. Keats' books are his believable characters. Young readers can easily relate to them and the different situations they are placed in. What makes Keats' stories even more wonderful is that they are infused with charm and a hint of the imaginary, which are emphasized by his lovely paint and collage illustrations. Readers who liked Louie in "The Trip", can see him in "Louie" and "Regards to the Man in the Moon."

Disappointed when received it

Book was too warn out. Disappointed when received it.

Editorial Reviews:

Whether voicing the sinister fox Mr. Johnson, the gullible hen Winnie, or a gentle bear preacher, Rex Robbins puts his talents on full display with his versatile, animated performance of James Marshall's eccentric and playful children's romp about the abduction via hot-air balloon of the aforementioned Winnie.

Robbins' appropriately slapstick delivery, along with pitch-perfect sound effects that transport the listener to varied locations such as churches and costume stores, paint a vivid picture and will surely spur the imagination of children of all ages.

This is one of the books we read over and over. This is the second copy of "Wings, a tail of two chicken" we bought. Someone borrowed our old copy and love it, we don't know when we can get it back, So we get our second copy of this book to keep reading. Great book, teaches kids so many things in a smart little story.

Nice lesson-giving story :)

Recommended to us by our summer reading program. Great read - funny story. Teaches a lesson for sure. My son likes it! Well, for now, he like us to read it to him. :)

Editorial Reviews:

Barking dogs, crying babies, and even the crunch of a neighbor's potato chips are some of the sounds you'll hear in the audio version of Ezra James Keats' classic children's book, which finds Sam and his younger brother Ben wandering around their crowded and cacophonous New York City tenement building in search of a mysterious harmonica sound.

Charles Turner's emotive delivery captures the awe the brothers experience when they reach their destination, and his voice perfectly suits the lyrical, poetic quality of Keats' prose in this inspiring children's audiobook.
