From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 6-Three talented storytellers and one talented musician take on the offbeat works of Carl Sandburg in this exuberant recording. Storytellers Bill Harley, Carol Birch, and Angela Lloyd offer four of Sandburg's poems and seven of his Rootabaga Stories, and their interpretations bring to life the almost surreal quality of Sandburg's imaginative landscape. At times, two or three tellers blend their voices, offering point and counterpoint in a feast of words, as in "Arithmetic," "How They Broke Away to Go to the Rootabaga Country," and "Doors." At other times, one teller takes center stage, creating powerful voices for individual characters in stories such as "How the Potato Face Blind Man Enjoyed Himself on a Fine Spring Morning," "The Story of Blixie Bimber and the Power of the Gold Buckskin Wincher," and "How Henry Hagglyhoagly Played the Guitar with His Mittens On." David Holt provides lively music from The Ameri-can Songbag, much of it instrumental, though he is joined occasionally by his collaborators on vocals. This recording is a treat for the whole family, and allows kids of all ages to enjoy Sandburg's work as it was meant to be enjoyed: out loud.
