Everything about this is charming and magical -- her voice, the characters, the pacing, the humor... very fine storytelling. Bravo!

Product Description

WINNER OF A 2002 PARENT'S GUIDE TO CHILDREN'S MEDIA AWARD!!!

"There once was a woman
Who lived in a shoe.
And had so many story friends
She knew not what to do.
She gave a big party
And made them all guests.
Then she planted a beanstalk
And hoped for the best!"

Come to the party in the mind of storyteller Rose Anne St. Romain! Meet the singing frogs, a stubborn pig, and "the biggest, baddest, meanest, hairiest, scariest, bad-breathest big bad wolf in every story in the world!" Rose Anne playfully leads you into the world of each story with seamless shifts between narration and character dramatizations. This live recording features folktales with lots of audience participation to engage listeners ages 4 - 94!!! Join the story party and see how Rose Anne St. Romain is reaching minds one story at a time.

This review is from: Once Upon a Shoe (MP3 Download)

I am looking for books on CD's for a long road trip this summer. I want things that are engaging for the kids and not annoying for us adults. These stories are amazing! I would highly suggest downloading these stories even if you aren't going on a road trip. I have been testing them out in the car as we drive around town to see if my kids like it and they want to stay in the car until the story is finished. Rose Anne uses great voices and noises to animate the stories. This is a gem. I am going to try to find more just like this!

These are really fun stories that I remember my Mom reading to me from books but Miss Rose Anne really makes them come to life. My Moma bought me this CD for my birthday and it made me really happy!

Rose Anne St. Romain is the consummate artist and she proves it in her latest recording "Once Upon a Shoe." The audio is filled with classic folktales that are kissed with Rose Anne's signature style - polished stories that give everyone a chance to participate. Each of the delightful tales have the subtle lessons that parents and teachers love yet are full of plain ole fun for the kids. The live recording lends a richness to the audio - you can "see" the audience enjoying their adventure with Rose Anne as well as picture the stories as you are listening. From "Singing Down the Rain" to "The Gunniwolf", Rose Anne fills her stories with characters who truly "come to life." "Once Upon a Shoe" is storytelling at its best, a CD worth listening to over and over. It is destined to become a storytelling classic.
