Customer Reviews

Happy Listeners

This collection of Jamie Lee Curtis' stories is excellent. My six-year-old son loves it and frequenly listens to the stories as he is going to sleep. His favorite is one of the songs and I have heard him singing it through the day. Jamie Lee Curtis reads the stories in a very kid-friendly manner - you'd think she was reading the stories to her own kids. Recently my son noticed Jamie Lee Curtis is also the yoghurt spokeswoman and he enjoyed seeing her on TV as his total exposure to her has been her books and audio collection.

A KEEPER FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS

If ever there was a Hollywood California golden girl, it may well be Jamie Lee Curtis. With Janet Leigh for a mom and Tony Curtis for a dad she could easily have opted to just be, enjoying the accolades and attention reserved for the offspring of stars. Not this gal! She struck out on her own proving herself to be a more than capable actress and writer. Married for 16 years to Christopher Guest, the couple have two adopted children. Her children's books tell the story of her understanding and concern as their children grew. With intelligence and wit she has penned a series of very popular books addressing issues of concern to all children and parents. Six of them are collected on this CD; happily it's also performed by Ms. Curtis. Included are the following titles: "Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born" - an expression of how very special an adopted child is. "It's Hard to Be Five: Learning How to Work My Control Panel" - encouraging ways a child can learn to behave appropriately. "When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth" - an appreciation of developing skills. "Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day" - a guide to youngsters' feelings and how to accept them. "Where Do Balloons Go: An Uplifting Mystery" - an adventurous balloon story ""I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off A Little Self-Esteem" - there's whimsy and wisdom in this reminder of how important it is to like yourself. This is a CD to be enjoyed by both adults and children - over and over again. - Gail Cooke
