Who lived in a shoe.
And had so many story friends
She knew not what to do.
She gave a big party
And made them all guests.
Then she planted a beanstalk
And hoped for the best!"

Meet the singing frogs, a stubborn pig, and "the biggest, baddest, meanest, hairiest, scariest, bad-breathest big bad wolf in every story in the world!"

This is really great!!.......2002-01-07

These are really fun stories that I remember my Mom reading to me from books but Miss Rose Anne really makes them come to life. My Moma bought me this CD for my birthday and it made me really happy!

"Once Upon a Shoe".......2001-12-21

Rose Anne St. Romain is the consummate artist and she proves it in her latest recording "Once Upon a Shoe." The audio is filled with classic folktales that are kissed with Rose Anne's signature style - polished stories that give everyone a chance to participate. Each of the delightful tales have the subtle lessons that parents and teachers love yet are full of plain ole fun for the kids. The live recording lends a richness to the audio - you can "see" the audience enjoying their adventure with Rose Anne as well as picture the stories as you are listening. From "Singing Down the Rain" to "The Gunniwolf", Rose Anne fills her stories with characters who truly "come to life." "Once Upon a Shoe" is storytelling at its best, a CD worth listening to over and over. It is destined to become a storytelling classic.

Kid friendly pass time!.......2001-11-28

My children, ages 1.5 - 8 years old have thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories on this delightful CD. We have listened to it many times in the evening, before going to bed, and the kids get very quiet in order to capture every word. The stories are humorous and engaging, yet they do not hipe the kids up into a frenzy. The author is very energetic in her story telling, and you can see the story being played in your mind. We have also enjoyed listening to the stories on long car trips when the children are restless. I highly recommend this CD to kids of all ages!
