Mother West Wind’s Children Part 3

As part of my read aloud celebration AND as an experiment with microphones, I’m doing a series of short (around 10 minute) episodes. The story I'm starting today is "Why Reddy Fox Has No Friends."

Mother West Wind’s Children Part 2

As part of my read aloud celebration AND as an experiment with microphones, I’m doing a series of short (around 10 minute) episodes. I’m reading Danny Meadow Mouse Learns Why His Tail is Short.

Mother West Wind’s Children Part 1

Since I didn’t get an episode done for National Read Aloud Day, I decided to do a short series of episodes reading a book instead. I’ve chosen stories from “Mother West Wind’s Children” by Thornton W. Burgess. I also wanted to do some short episodes because I want to test various microphones so we can hear the difference before I do some longer episodes I have coming up. Let me know what you think. I’m going to do about 10 minute episodes. If the story takes longer than that I’ll find a good breaking point and I’ll continue in the next episode.
