Philippe Petit's breathtaking 1974 high-wire ballet
between the twin towers of the World Trade Center comes to life in this audio companion to the 2004 Caldecott Medal winner. An exquisitely crafted original score and occasional sound effects (whistling,
clapping, traffic, etc.) enrich the text, while a measured pace will allow ample time to peruse the book's delicately detailed illustrations and experience the vertigo created by each perspective. Gerstein
reads with great dignity, as if he relishes not only Petit's exploit but every word of the text as well. KRISTI ELLE JEMTEGAARD From "The Man Who Walked Between The Towers":
Fifteen Notable ALA Awards since 2001 " Ouch" wins an AUDIE award! Snow
A small boy responds to the wonder of a fresh snowfall as he watches his village transformed into a magical vista in this Caldecott Honor book. Guidall's narration and Kubie's
music work together to provide a charming fresh tableau revealing a child's innocent delight in simple events.
"The delicate clarity of Uri's fresh snow flake, the humor and affection from it, to the white dance that follows, comes to life, caught delightfully in Chris Kubie's beautiful music." Ouch! The devil's grandmother rescues a humble peasant boy, blessed with a distinguishing birthmark and a pure soul, and assures his ascendancy to the throne in Natalie Babbitt's retelling of this tale from Grimm. This lively, rollicking rendition has all the elements familiar to the most successful fairy tales.
