5.0 out of 5 stars Great for long trips, December 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Maurice Sendak Audio Collection (Audio Cassette)

My family never tires of this collection. Whenever a car trip is going to last over 30 minutes or we need a distraction so Mom and Dad can fix dinner these are the tapes of choice for us. Even after 3 years of constant listening these stories make us laugh - especially the escapades of Rosie and her friends

5.0 out of 5 stars The Maurice Sendak Audio Tapes, August 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Maurice Sendak Audio Collection (Audio Cassette)

Bought this originally for my child when it was first released and it's one of his most favorite memories. He is so fond of these stories (as am I) that today I'm ordering it for his 30th birthday present. Since these stories we've said "EXP-1212!" to convey the ultimate adventure, described certain people/situations as "Pierre," and in other ways incorporated Jenny, Rosie and the Nutshell Kids into our lives. Only regret is that they're not available on CD.

This review is from: The Maurice Sendak Audio Collection (Audio Cassette)

My dad got this set for me when I was a kid. I'm 33 now and somehow I managed to keep two of the tapes: Kenny's Window and Higglety Pigglety Pop! I've listened to them on and off throughout, and somehow these 23 year old tapes still play. My daughter is 3 1/2 now and both of these stories have been *huge* hits since she was just over 2, so much so that I transferred them to CD so that the tapes wouldn't die. I hadn't been able to find the full set until now; I thought they had gone out of print. Now my daughter and I can have them all and I can finally complete some of the snatches of Really Rosie that are still floating around in my head. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
