PRODUCT REVIEW + GIVEAWAY: STORY HARBOUR CD

Whether we listen to a story from a book, or one from a cassette/CD…we are learning as adults, and teaching our children to listen. Listening to a story, and picturing the events in your mind is one of the best skills any person (no matter what their age) can achieve. That is why I am so excited to share a new CD with all of you called Story Harbour vol. 1 performed by Zette Harbour. In this engaging collection of stories, you will hear stories from all over the world (Africa, Russia, Japan, England and more).

This CD, at first glance, is a beautifully performed collection of world folktales by Traditional Storyteller, Zette Harbour.  Give a second, third, and more, listen, and you find yourself discovering a deeper resonance and meaning in each tale.

On the surface, yes, they are tales about gratitude, honoring promises, being fair, and more.  Deeper down, though, we are given a glimpse of some of life’s greatest teachers – longing, loss, triumph and surprise.  Children and grown-ups alike, find themselves drawn to hear these tales over and over, and, at the end of the CD, calling out for more.

My Thoughts
Listening to Zette Harbour’s CD, I was very impressed by how well she could keep my attention focused on the story. Not only are you learning life lessons, but you are also enjoying a folk take that has lasted for generations.

This CD would be perfect for any educator (preschool age thru college) to utilize and use within their classroom. I could also see librarians from around the world, putting these incredible “stories” to good use as well.
