The first two are great for the preschool aged children. They have been perfect for twice weekly commutes to the allergist. I heard about Weiss first here -Many Thanks!

A few years ago, I was in a store in town and there sitting on a shelf... TONS OF JIM WEISS CASSETTES! Priced at TWO DOLLARS EACH! I blinked at them for a few minutes, remembered happily that we have a working cassette player (in our elderly CAR) and grabbed them all. My kids love 'em. And so since then, each of them gets a Jim Weiss CD for Christmas! OH! A few years ago, I was in a store in town and there sitting on a shelf… TONS OF JIM WEISS CASSETTES! Priced at TWO DOLLARS EACH!

Melissa wrote. If you can't get Melissa Wiley books at your local library, do ask them to get them for you through Inter Library Loan. I used to hesitate about this, thinking ILL was something reserved for scholarly work, but I've heard librarians from various libraries enthusiastically encourage its use. I think it's one of those things that the more it's used, the more "the authorities" will see that it is needed, and consequently keep up funding for it. Also, one can hope that the more specific titles are requested, the more likely word will filter back to publishers to keep them in print! (We've also gotten Shakespeare and opera DVDs and CDs through ILL. It's a great resource.) Oh, and we love Jim Weiss, too! Just responding to something (the other?) Melissa wrote.

My favorite story is "Tortoise and the Hare" which is on "Animal Tales." To see him tell it in person is a real treat. Many a winter afternoon has been spent crafting while listening to Jim Weiss. Speaking of books-- you mentioned "The King's Fifth" recently. I was all set to order it when my daughter brought it home from school. She's not enjoying it, but I wonder if it's because she HAS to read it :) I’ve met Jim Weiss as well.
