Publisher's Summary:

Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing.

A fisherman who fished from the land out into the sea was fishing one day when he heard singing and laughter coming from a grotto. He went around the rocks to discover seven women dancing in the shallow water. They were not dressed, but on the rock where the fisherman was standing, he saw seven fish-tail skins! He watched the dancers. He fell in love with the youngest. He found the smallest tail, rolled it up, and tucked it into his belt. He threw a rock into the middle of the dancers and hid behind the rock where he was standing.

The sisters ran to the rock and slipped on their tales, and the mermaids swam away. All except one. He invited her to come with him and be his wife. She did not want to come, but she did. He hid her tail. He loved her, but she missed her life in the sea. Every day she would walk the beach. They had children. One day he came home, and she was not there. She had found her tail. Now it is the fisherman who walks the beach each day, longing for the love of his life.

Another fantastic tale from 'The Shellies'

What made the experience of listening to Bookend Tales from Here and There the most enjoyable?

This is the second audio book that I've bought about 'The Shellies', and, whilst it was playing I realised what sets this series apart from many others. Firstly, the soundtrack is brilliant, but the sound effects are also fantastic. There are constant sounds of seagulls flying overhead which creates the perfect atmosphere, and is an ideal backdrop for the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how the story isn't just a fun and entertaining tale; it is also highly educational. The explanation of thunder and lightning is just one example.

Which character as performed by Jennifer Pederson was your favourite?

To be honest I really liked all of the characters. They are all very different, and portrayed extremely well by Jennifer Pederson. I suppose 'Poet' stands out simply for being so adorable!

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

Yes, definitely. It's great value for money, as it's over an hour long, but, at the same time not too long that you have to come back to it.

Any additional comments?

'The Shellies' series, both the written and audio versions, are perfect for young children. They are fun, educational and highly entertaining. What more could you ask for?

An early reader for kids who love science!

There is a dearth of really good chapter books for kids who like science, but are not particularly into animals, as my older son was at that age. After the COMMANDER TOAD series and NATE THE GREAT, what do you read?

Kell the Alien fits the bill. With a heavy dose of humor and whimsy and delightful world-building, Darcy Pattison has created a series that would especially appeal to kids into science or outer space.

I loved how many incredible details were woven into this book, despite its simple use of language (just right for early readers). Aliens aren't born, they hatch, so Kell is afraid of eggs and won't eat food with eggs in it. Thus, eating birthday cake is problematic. His skin peels once a month, which is quite embarrassing. He prefers replicator food. All this must be hidden from Mrs. Lynx, the principal, who's an alien-hunter. Kell is also afraid of bugs (there are no bugs on his planet). Watch for the illustrations of bugs--and the game at the end. There are many misunderstandings between Earthlings and aliens. The premise of Kell helping his parents make money by planning an alien birthday party was just right in intensity for this age group. Such a wonderful, charming book.

I just wish it had come out a few years ago!

COOL KIDS STORY

Kell and his parents were definitely aliens, but he could not let his friends at school or any one know. He came up with a brilliant idea to help his parents but on the heel of that, he had to face his principal who wanted to catch an alien and thought that everyone in the third grade could be one. Kellâs life was no bed of roses, he had to be so watchful and mindful of others, it made his life an exciting and fun one in ways he couldnât understand. This story has lots of amusing episodes which made you smile, great job, cool writing.

Great story for kids who like science

Kell and the Giants is an enjoyable read, particularly for children who enjoy science, astronomy and cute humor. The story is well-written and funny, and it's complimented by cute little drawings throughout the text. The story also explores common problems that kids face every day, such as being presented with food choices that they can't, or won't eat for one reason or another, keeping secrets, understanding an unfamiliar culture and handling the logistics of an alien birthday party. This one is definitely going into the "read again" space on the bookshelf!

A nice little early reading SciFi.

I adored this story and the illustrations. I love aliens, so it was an easy choice for me when thinking about ebooks to download for the kids I babysit.

Cute story!

Very cute story! My kids both really enjoyed it'

Members Reviews:

Just as good as the first book

My Thoughts

Jesper Jinx is back in the second audiobook of the series, Jesper Jinx and the Sneezing Season. I made a start on listening to this one immediately after finishing the previous audiobook, so I was aware of both the story itself and the narration.

Jesper Jinx and the Sneezing Season was exactly how I remember it, but made even more funny by the narration and the little touches to the story. Like the previous book this has the verbal confidentiality agreement, but there are also fine details in small print, this was portrayed with mumbling that it very indistinguishable, just like fine print can be, this certainly made me laugh and had me straining to really hear what was being said.

Narration

Already warmed up to the narrator I went into Jesper Jinx and the Sneezing Season aware of what the narrator sounded like, and also the timing of his speech. I found myself enjoying Jesper Jinx and the Sneezing Season more than the previous audiobook and I think this helped me enjoy it more, and be less picky about the narration.

Final Verdict

Jesper Jinx and the Sneezing Season was a more enjoyable book than the previous, I think I even liked this more than the book itself. This is another perfect story for children to listen to on short journeys and will keep then entertained.

"As a Type 1 diabetic, I am highly impressed with this book. I was diagnosed as an adult and had small children to explain this disease to. It was difficult. Having a book like this one would have made it so much easier." (Color Me Crystal)

Members Reviews:

Very Insightful

I really enjoyed reading about Estelle, who is a child that gets diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This story is fiction but I was pleasantly surprised who accurate it was (I am an RN), there's even a very helpful guide at beginning for what happens when a child is experiencing symptoms. Type 1 diabetes is hard enough for adults but there are more and more cases of children who are diagnosed, Estelle's story is good for children and parents who might have or know someone who has diabetes. The narrator was also excellent, made a good story even more enjoyable. would recommend.

I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review
