Review: Mike Anderson's comfortable, easily accessible storytelling style uses a child's day-to-day frames of reference to tell atmospheric, tall and home-cozy tales about a lace-up shoe house, wings for a reluctant cat, a suspenseful search for the family pet and rainy day music-making.

| Review: Mike Anderson relates peppery tales that "have some semblance of truth," as he combines the everyday with the unlikely, inspired by his childhood in a small Illinois farming community with his best pal, Denny. In conversational, professional storyteller's cadence. Anderson communicates a wealth of vivid, down home imagery: "genuine imitation Davy Crockett hats," 25 cent movies, Schwinn bicycles, October moons, crawdad fishing next to a graveyard, using string, a safety pin and bacon; a favorite bike path through a cornfield that was "like a green hallway" in the summer and a magical place of "corn ghosts" when the fog rolled in. --Lynne Heffley ©2000 Parents' Choice Includes: Crawdad Fishing, The Thumb, Cats, Billy Higgs, The Great Pickle Migration, The Great Sled Race, and the Boys of Wexford. Contains 6 stories and one very short dulcimer instrumental. Approximately 73 minutes running time - Ages 7 - adult |
