Hi folks,
This week we have two great stories for you…
The first, set in wartime Britain, is Paul Gallico’s classic tale of heroism “The Snow Goose”.
The second, a great episode of “Mr. President” as we find out which President liked taking walks in the swamps surrounding Washington DC at night to “lose” his bodyguards… and who faced a murderous armed intruder in the Oval Office.
This week’s program is a great episode of the program “Anthology” from 1954, with some delightful readings of classic children’s poetry and nursery rhymes. If you’ve ever thought about introducing some great poetry to your kids, give this a listen… and also check out our featured resource while it is still on sale.
This week’s program is a fun “audio cartoon” of Mr. Duck’s adventures during his summer vacation, circa 1947. The kids will love this one, but beware of the duet between Donald and Dinah Shore!
This week, two great dramatizations of the famed 1836 battle at the Alamo!
Also, be sure to take a look at this wonderful benefit sale for the Estes family (handsandhearts.com)… you can be a real blessing to them and get a huge blessing in return. Just take a look!
This week, two great programs in honor of Independence Day here in the US of A!
You Are There: July 4th, 1776 — A great dramatic re-creation of the events on that fateful day when the Declaration of Independence was almost NOT signed, but thrown out altogether!
plus
The Great Gildersleeve’s Old Fashioned Fourth of July — A classic episode of a favorite series, with a warm and nostalgic look at the way the 4th used to (or at least should have) been.
This week’s “living books for the ears” programs are:
“The Battle of the Ovens”… a true story of a lowly bread baker whose quick witted thinking at a pivotal point in the American Revolution saved the Continental Army.
Also, “The Chinese Nightingale”, a great fairy tale and cautionary story the whole family will enjoy.
And while you’re here, be sure to behold the “Fainting Goats”, a truly memorable and hilarious guest video.

Queen Joanna and the Abbot
by Mary & Laura Kizior and Amanda, Megan & Teresa Dominick
