THE SHOE BIRD: A Musical Fable, by Samuel Jones adapted from a story by Eudora Welty, performed by Jim Dale with the Seattle Symphony, Northwest Boych
This is not your ordinary audiobook, but a wonderful program joining music, narration and chorus. Think PETER & THE WOLF, and you'll get the idea of what’s in store for listeners. Jim Dale, marvelous master of voices, creates clever, whimsical, and always-memorable portraits of the birds who visit a shoe store to be fitted for shoes. Destined to be a new classic of family listening!
