Doreen Cronin's books just crack me up. I love how she makes her animal characters come to life and gives each one their own distinctive personality. I discovered the joys of Dooby, Dooby, Moo when it was released as an audibook kit (book with CD) in 2007. Randy Travis narrates the story as Farmer Brown prepares his animals for the local county fair. What he doesn't know is that the animals are preparing for the talen show at the fair and practice in the barn while Famer Brown is asleep at night as Duck wants to win the competition to get a new trampoile. The music and sound effects on the CD can't be beat! It's pure entertainment at its best! That's why it was given the honor of inclusion on the 2008 Children's Notable Sound Recording's List, which is sponsored by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. It is also a 2008 Odyssey Honor Audiobook too!

New Read-Along Kits
We've just gotten in some new juvenile audiobook kits at the library. These recordings are sure to be pleasing to the ear while being educational and entertaining. Check out some of these new titles:
RRRALPH Narrator Andrew Watts cleverly describes how Ralph the dog can talk, appropriately saying words such as "roof," "rough," "bark," and "wolf."
Wonder Horse: The True Story of the World's Smartest Horse This fictionalized account of Bill "Doc" Key, a former slave who became a veterinarian, trained his horse, Jim Key, to recognize letters and numbers and to perform in skits around the country, and moved the nation toward a belief in treating animals humanely as narrator Kevin R. Free tells the tale with loving care.
The Django A young boy named Jean has an imaginary friend, Django, who keeps getting him in trouble and eventually is sent away, but whenever Jean plays the banjo he continues to feel close to Django.

Who would have known that one town could accumulate so much trash?
