Featuring Margaret MacDonald's storytelling accompanied by Richard Scholtz's autoharp and dulcimer, this recording is full of lively, playful fare. These selections are ideal for expanding into song, dance, and creative drama. Includes stories adapted from MacDonald's picture books, Fat Cat (Denmark) and Mabela the Clever (Limba, Sierra Leone), as well as several from her resource collection Shake-it-up Tales.© Margaret MacDonald; (P) August House Publishers, Inc.

Editorial reviews

This collaborative effort between storyteller Margaret Read MacDonald and musician Richard Scholtz brings to life seven folktales. MacDonald skillfully adapts the folktales with rhyming refrains that, when combined with Scholtz's lively, lilting music, leave the listener humming long after the audio has stopped playing. The music serves as more than decoration and often works to further the action, changing pitch to match the events of the stories. MacDonald is a compelling storyteller, with a voice that exudes joy and enthusiasm and that demands the listener's attention. The production invites repeat listening.
