I also love Marsupial Sue and The Runaway Pancake, both written and performed by John Lithgow. I also mentioned in another topic that the book Big Pumpkin has a great recording to it, but when I was looking to replace my tape which I recorded from a friend I discovered that if you buy it on Amazon (only used available) it costs between $175 to $250 (no, I didn't forget the decimal points!) On Ebay the CD is now bidding at $41 which seems like a steal. :) My tape needs to last another 20 or so years!!!!

It cost about 25 dollars and has four tapes with five different stories.


The Fool and the Flying Ship, which is narrated by Robin Williams along with illustrations by Henrik Drescher
Pecos Bill, which is also narrated by Robin Williams along with illustrations by Tim Raglin
John Henry, which is narrated by Denzel Washington along with illustrations by Barry Jackson
Brer Rabbit and Boss Lion, which is narrated by Danny Glover along with illustrations by Bill Mayer
The Firebird, which is narrated by Susan Sarandon along with illustrations by Robert Van Nutt
How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, which is narrated by Jack Nicholson along with illustrations by Tim Raglin
Rabbit Ears is actually available on both DVDs and audio cds.

I just checked out from the public library & listened to Mama Don't Allow(cd) by Live Oak and it was pretty good.
