Superquick, since I only have 12 minutes until today is over (unless I want to lie and back-date it): Today was World Read Aloud Day. Obviously, this is a Day that is relevant to my interests. However, I didn't want to post any podfic (because I want ALL THE POINTS)...so instead, you can hear me read you selections from my favorite of Shel ( Read more... )

not a podfic but worth a listen anyway, outside source of awesome, no more megaupload

I remember really enjoying Falling Up as a child, so I look forward to listening to your recording! :D :D

Some of my very favorite poems as a kid (The Gardener, Red Flowers For You) were from this book - so, it was really great to get to re-read them, y'know? Happy listening!

....this was totally prompted by your reading of The Pokey Little Puppy. I saw your post, felt nostalgic, and ran off to riad Littlest Sister's bookshelf ;-)

Happy listening!

Not gonna lie, I am an awesome babysitter! However, most of the kids I used to sit for are in about the eighth through eleventh grades now (all were V's and Middlest Sister's friends/age), so I don't et quite as much work as I once did. I do have a once-a-week sitting job for a 3-year-old who tells her mother weekly that I'm her favorite, though...

(Also - hope you enjoy the rest of the poems ^___^)
