4.0 out of 5 stars A KEEPER FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, October 6, 2004

By	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

If ever there was a Hollywood California golden girl, it may well be Jamie Lee Curtis. With Janet Leigh for a mom and Tony Curtis for a dad she could easily have opted to just be, enjoying the accolades and attention reserved for the offspring of stars. Not this gal! She struck out on her own proving herself to be a more than capable actress and writer.

Married for 16 years to Christopher Guest, the couple have two adopted children. Her children's books tell the story of her understanding and concern as their children grew. With intelligence and wit she has penned a series of very popular books addressing issues of concern to all children and parents. Six of them are collected on this CD; happily it's also performed by Ms. Curtis.

Included are the following titles:
"Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born" - an expression of how very special an adopted child is.

"It's Hard to Be Five: Learning How to Work My Control Panel" - encouraging ways a child can learn to behave appropriately.

"When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth" - an appreciation of developing skills.

"Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day" - a guide to youngsters' feelings and how to accept them.

"Where Do Balloons Go: An Uplifting Mystery" - an adventurous balloon story

""I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off A Little Self-Esteem" - there's whimsy and wisdom in this reminder of how important it is to like yourself.

This is a CD to be enjoyed by both adults and children - over and over again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring, boring,boring, March 4, 2007

By	Anna Alvar "Mom of 2" (Nashua NH) - See all my reviews

This stories do not keep little audience motivated. My kids did not last 5 minutes listening the CD. (And they loooove to listen audio books...) Jamie Lee Curtis is not good as storyteller she is rather boring. Her voice expresses no emotion in any part of the CD. I would NOT recomend anyone to waste money in this CD. It is awful!!
