STORIES TO STIR THE IMAGINATION, Volume 3:

1- PANDORAS BOX ~ Long, long ago, there lived a girl named Pandora. One day a beautiful mysterious box was left in her cottage. She was warned not to open it, but she did anyway and all of a sudden a swarm of frightfully ugly creatures flew out in all directions, bringing with them, pain and suffering. Then at last, a bright glistening fairy flew out to bring new hope to the world.

2- THE FISHERMAN AND HIS WIFE ~ A poor fisherman once caught a magic flounder who told him that he could bring anything the fisherman wanted. Instantly the fisherman wished for a cozy cottage to replace his tumbledown shack ... and the wish was granted. But his wife kept wishing for a mansion, then a palace. But when she wished to be God, the flounder was killed by a giant wave, which brought them back to the tumbledown shack.

3- THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF ~ A young shepherd wanted excitement, so he ran through his town shouting- A wolf is attacking my sheep. Instantly, people rushed out to capture the wolf, but there was no wolf. However, the next day when a wolf did attack his sheep, no one came to help.

4- THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING ~ The classic Christmas story of the fantastic dream of a little girl named Marie. In it she she saw an army of mice, led by the evil Mouse King, attack her precious Nutcracker, her favorite Christmas toy. Desperately, Marie took off her slipper and threw it at the Mouse King, which killed him on the spot. Instantly the Nutcracker stood up, but now he was a handsome prince who danced through night with Marie to beautiful music.

From the Publisher

In today's visually explicit society, busy parents need to give their children every advantage possible to help establish their own creative thinking and grow up healthy and productive in a highly competitive world.

Hours spent in front of the TV have driven a wedge between many children and their parents and grandparents. Eye in the Ear introduces a step back to the future, with the age-old tradition of fireside storytelling, by presenting exciting, inspirational and educational stories designed to stir, challenge and inspire a child's imagination. Enchanting for the whole family, Eye in the Ear audio books make a wonderful gift for ages 3-99.

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice but a bit much for toddlers, April 27, 2006
my daughter loves the nutcracker and other classic stories and i thought id get her some to listen to in the car. the nutcracker story on this particular cd is one i have never heard before; not the one she was hoping for; it had to do with a character named "pearly pate". the reading of the stories goes a bit fast, as in, the speakers speed of speaking, in my opinion. i think these are good for kindergarten and up but a bit off for toddlers; even if they are into stories such as these.

My son loves these stories. He has his own tape player and he plays these over and over. I know them all by heart now.
