My preschooler and I have been working our way through audio CDs, including the Rabbit Ears series. As a former educator (who is taking time off to pursue graduate studies), I find that listening skills are immensely important, especially in ensuring successful outcomes in learning. Cultivating good listening skills is as important in my opinion as building reading skills. In "Rabbit Ears: World Tales Vol. 2", there are two tales - "Rumpelstiltskin" is read by Kathleeen Turner ("Romancing the Stone" and "Moonlighting") with music by Tangerine Dream (also one of my favorites). The length is 23:51 minutes, and the story is one familiar to most people, i.e. of a greedy king who commands a young lass to spin straw into gold. Out of desperation, the lass turns to a mysterious creature for help, but at a high price of course. The narration is excellent, and the music goes along beautifully with the story.
In "The Tiger and the Brahmin" (26:44), Sir Ben Kingsley narrates the story of a naive Brahmin (a holy man) who lets a tiger out of its cage (on the promise that the tiger would not eat him) and is left facing the prospect of death until a jackal comes along. The music is by Ravi Shankar. I loved this story because I happen to also be a fan of Kingsley's work and Shankar's music. My preschooler enjoyed both stories. If you're looking for a good audio CD collection of stories, many of the Rabbit Ears titles are quite engaging. I found many of them at my local library, and have purchased select favorites for repeat listening.
