A Beach Tail follows a father and son during a magical day at the beach. After Gregory draws a lion in the sand, his father tells him to stay close to it and not to wander away. So Gregory, taking his fathers advice to heart, doesnt dare leave his lion - even when he draws its tail so long it extends the length of the beach.

Love this story

Love this story! I use it to teach ethics to my students. It is about a little boy who is supposed to stay near the lion they drew in the sand but he's pretty clever about still being able to explore the beach. I think it's a great book for young children.

Daddy - Son Beach trip

I love this book. The artwork is amazing, and the text makes it a great read aloud book for preschool children. Wonderful introduction to the sand, waves and tides families will encounter during beach outings. Good daddy-son book.

Great summer story

My son and I enjoy reading this story about a little boy who visits the beach with his father. He has a great time using his imagination and exploring all of the sites on the beach. The illustrations are very cute and I just love that this is a father/son story.

Five Stars

Good read before a beach trip!

Leave him alone and he'll come home, drawing a tail behind him.

It's not bad. It's definitely realistic as to the kind of thing a kid would do. I'm not sure it's a good idea to encourage your kid to do this, basically following the rules by the letter rather than the spirit. A kid at the beach draws a lion in the sand and names him Sandy. And then his dad says, "Don't go in the water. And don't leave Sandy. But Sandy needs a tail. So draw a tail for Sandy." And then his dad sits down and reads a book and stops paying attention to him. This kid is maybe like four or five. And of course, given that license, draws the longest tail ever on his lion, and wanders off down the beach, and eventually realizes that he can't see his dad anymore, and has no way to get back. But then he notices that he can follow the tail. So he follows the tail, kind of like Harold and the Purple Crayon trying to get back to reality, but in this case, he literally is somewhere far away from his dad, who is reading a book instead of watching his child.

I mean, I've got nothing against books. Obviously, this is a book, and I read it, and reading is great, but you kinda need to keep an eye on kids, especially in a place as big and dangerous as a beach. So it's very realistic, but I wouldn't want to give kids the wrong idea, that it's okay to wander off at the beach.

Message: As long as you follow the letter of the rules, the spirit doesn't matter.

positive lessons for children

This collection of rhymes was a delight. My daughter enjoyed the pictures and the rhymes. I liked the themes that allowed us to discuss it more and how the topics relate to our lives. The lesson on No Santa was almost scary to approach, but the speaker reminds us on the things we wish for and do when it comes to the time of year that coincides with Saint Nicholas's arrival. Recommended!

Charming, Folksy Retelling

Would you listen to Jack, The Beanstalk and Other Tales again? Why?

Yes, there's replay value in these stories. It's fun to revisit the characters over and over.

What did you like best about this story?

The wonder of it all. One of my favorite tales...

Have you listened to any of Rand Whipples other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have seen him perform live for kids, and this is a similar experience.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but it also works to listen in pieces.

Any additional comments?

Good work!

Really enjoyed it.

Would you consider the audio edition of Jack, The Beanstalk and Other Tales to be better than the print version?

These stories are a lot of fun. We listened to it as a family on a trip and it had a sense of humor that everyone enjoyed. The narrator has a good voice for this kind of story. I didn't read the print version but I think I would miss the narration in the printed book. The narrator has a good accent that fits the story really well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character, Jack, of course. He is a little different in each story but he always succeeds.

Which scene was your favorite?

We liked the story Jack and the Varmints, especially when the robbers return to the house.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, we were traveling.

Any additional comments?

Love Pinky and Rex!

It's a book. What can I say? I bought this book for my low level fourth and fifth graders. It's a fairly long book, which made it perfect for me because I am trying to build reading stamina. I think it would be appropriate for beginning second graders. FYI: Pinky is a boy and Rex is a girl. We were all confused until we figured that out.

Four Stars

Title: How the Whale Got His Throat

Format: Unabridged

Release date: 11-27-13

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

This is a story from the Just So Stories collection.

Here is the complete and unabridged collection of Rudyard Kipling's delightful Just So Stories, which he first told to his own children before setting them down on paper: How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Leopard Got His Spots, How the Elephant Got His Trunk, The Butterfly that Stamped, and many others. Written in the late 1800s and first published in 1902, these enchanting animals remain unforgettable, over 100 years later. To hear these magic fables by a master of children's literature is to enjoy them.

Editorial Reviews:

Perfect for children and adults alike, this brief and enchanting tale is drawn from Rudyard Kiplings timeless Just So Stories, a collection of whimsical, mythological origin stories for children, intended to explain the vast array of unique physiological characteristics present throughout the animal kingdom. In "How the Whale Got His Throat", Kipling explains how it came to be that the enormous whale, with its genuinely cavernous maw, can only consume miniscule fish.

Geoffrey Palmer is a master of the oral storytelling tradition and has a voice perfectly suited to Kiplings rich prose, his low, lilting voice dipping deep to bring the whales deep, guttural speech patterns to life, and accentuating the sly humor of this delightful story.

Critic Reviews:

"This collection includes Kipling's 12 original Just So Stories narrated by Geoffrey Palmer, whose deep and resonant voice is perfectly suited to the tales. It is satisfying to hear the stories as they were meant to be told - aloud." (School Library Journal)

Two Stars

Not impressed with the format or the illustrations.

A Whale of a Read

The pictures have nice "past-times" feel as they are from animated films made in the 1980's.. pleasant change from the flat bright pictures that flood todays kiddies books. Our Grandkids love it.

Editorial Reviews:

"How the Alphabet Was Made" tells the adorable story of Neolithic cave-kid Taffy, who invents symbols for a game with her dad. These symbols become the alphabet. Nobel-prize winning author Rudyard Kipling is best known for his collection of stories The Jungle Book. Geoffrey Palmer performs this story exactly how one would image a Kipling story to sound: excited, rib-tickling, and British. For 26 minutes, this tale sweeps away adults and kids alike into Taffy's fanciful ancient world of snakes, carp, spears, and sacred beavers.

Editorial Reviews:

This installment of Rudyard Kiplings Just So collection of wondrously imaginative origin fables takes place in neolithic times and deals with the genesis of the written word, which comes to be when Taffy, the daughter of the caveman Tegumai, composes a humorously misleading picture letter to her mother in an effort to secure a new hunting spear for her father.

Geoffrey Palmers engaging, versatile performance expertly weaves between the young Taffys charming naiveté and Tegumais weathered, authoritative boom in Kiplings joyously vivid testament to the importance of written communication.

Editorial Reviews:

Rudyard Kiplings allegorical "The Butterfly That Stamped", part of his Just So collection of origin fables, centers on the contentious relationship between King Suleiman-bin-Daoud and his combative group of 999 wives, and how his chance encounter with a pair of quarreling butterflies helps him restore order at his chaotic royal palace.

From the wailing hysterics of the Butterflys wife to the reserved sagacity of the Queen Balkis, Geoffrey Palmer displays impressive range in his depiction of Kiplings colorful cast of characters, both human and insect.

Great little re-telling

I am very familiar with this story by Rudyard Kipling. I actually bought this because of Shoo Rayner's illustrations. I like how he did them.

Title: The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids

Author: Brothers Grimm

Narrator: Laura Paton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-25-13

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

This is a story from the Grimms' Fairy Tales 2 collection.

Jacob and Wilhelm's first book of fairy tales, Children's and Household Tales, published in 1812, included 86 folktales and was an instant success. Shortly thereafter, the brothers incorporated 70 more stories in their next volume of Grimms' Fairy Tales. This continued for six more editions! The complete collection contains over 200 stories, and is probably the best-known work of German literature.

Filled with fantasy, magic, and talking animals, these enchanting tales for children often teach a lesson about moral values, and right from wrong. Reader Laura Paton's warmth and flair for characters, paired with bright and exciting classical music, results in a memorable production that younger listeners will enjoy again and again.

In this title you will find The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids, The Pack of Ragamuffins, Brother and Sister, The Three Snake-Leaves, The Boots of Buffalo-Leather, The Drummer, The Three Spinners, Old Rinkrank, The Grave Mound, The Master Thief, The Hare and the Hedgehog, The Little Folks' Presents, Master Cobbler's Awl, and The Three Sluggards.

Editorial Reviews:

Mother goat leaves her seven children at home while she forages for food. In the vein of "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood", you can guess who shows up next. The Brothers Grimm tell a fairy tale like no one else, except maybe Laura Paton, whose sweet voice carries young listeners into this imaginative story. Orchestral music sets the folksy tone while skilled actor Paton shows her fun side, playing up the colorful characters' voices. This audio-story is about seven minutes and fun (not too scary) bedtime listening.

Family Favorite

I remember this story being read to me when I was a child and wanted to hear it over and over. My children found it in the library and checked it out every time they went. When my grandchildren came along, they loved the same story. Kids seem to have a fascination for big bad wolf stories and this one is a thriller with a happy ending. Thanks to Amazon I found the same older edition that my children used to check out at the libary.

This is the same book as other versions available for ...

This is the same book as other versions available for Kindle, just with a new cover and higher price. I would call this a scam.
