"Tell me a story!" How many times do we hear this beguiling request from the lips of our children, when they see reading as something only big kids and grown-ups can do? While we definitely advocate that parents read to their little ones as much as possible, sometimes another "beautiful voice" can add some special magic to their day. Engagingly, our PRE-READER AUDIOBOOKS overflow with whimsy, sparkle, and creativity. Did we also mention that they're wholesome too?

Kalliope's Review |
"Almost everyone has heard of the board game, "Uncle Wiggily" but few people are acquainted with the charming book that began his adventures. Since I am constantly on the look out for wonderful stories for the little ones, I was thrilled to find this one...and to know that there will be many more sequels to follow! When you're finished with this one, I'll have another one waiting in the wings." ~ Kalliope |

Short Book Summary |
Howard Roger Garis, a prolific American author from Amherst, MA is perhaps best known for a series of children's books that feature a character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, a charming elderly rabbit. Not as well known, however, is the fact that this rabbit was first introduced in the book Sammie & Susie Littletail written by Garis in 1910. Introducing the whole Littletail rabbit family, this book tells of their forest adventures that include a whole cast of interesting characters. |

Read First Paragraph |
"Once upon a time there lived in a small house built underneath the ground two curious little folk, with their father, their mother, their uncle and Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy. Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy was the nurse, hired girl and cook, all in one, and the reason she had such a funny name was because she was a funny cook. She had long hair, a sharp nose, a very long tail and the brightest eyes you ever saw. She could stay under water a long time, and was a fine swimmer. In fact, Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a big muskrat, and the family she worked for was almost as strange as she was." |

Quote: the Scribe |
“Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.”
