Editorial Reviews

This production, great for younger listeners and new readers, includes two Lobel favorites--MOUSE TALES and MOUSE SOUP. In the first, Papa mouse tells his little mice seven stories (one for each mouse) in exchange for their promise to go to sleep when he’s done. In the second, Mouse must talk his way out of becoming weasel soup. Both stories, for beginning readers, are read by author-illustrator Lobel, who does a wonderful job bringing their light and quirky humor to life. Listeners will enjoy his fatherly voice as he strolls through these simple but pleasing tales. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
