Jim Weiss

Tell Me a Story, an audio collection for young children by award winning storyteller Jim Weiss, features the introductory song “Tell me a Story,” and six classic stories: “The Bremen Town Musicians,” “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” “Things Could Always Be Worse,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “The Little Red Hen,” and “The Hare and the Hedgehog.” With an approximate running time of one hour, Weiss’ warm voice and captivating delivery easily holds a child’s attention for the duration of the disc. Weiss takes familiar characters and infuses life into them using vocal excitement, laughter, sorrow, and surprise. A master storyteller, Weiss knows where to place emphasis and when to withdraw and allow his listeners to use their imagination. In terms of age appropriateness, based on my observations, children age three to eight will enjoy Weiss’ delivery of the stories on this disc.… (meer)
