Mesmerizing stories for children (audio CD & book)

Wow, my 8 year old and her other 6-9 year old carpool friends have hung on every word of these audio tales as we drive to their Waldorf school. My only complaint is that there are not more stories here (only 6 if I remember correctly). I am currently searching for more audio tapes with books that are of this caliber. We have generally listened to a single story during a drive to school (approximately 15 minutes each or so). The narrator has a mesmerizing voice and the stories are wonderfully engaging -even for me (an over-40 something working on a masters degree). I recently remembered that there is a book that goes with the audio and threw that in the car today- they now want to hear all of the stories again while looking at the pictures!

Fun

We have Story Tree, which was our first Hugh Lupton cd and my 3.5 and 1.5 year olds love that one. This one they like. The stories are just long enough to keep the older kids' attention. The little one loves dancing to the short song in between each story.
