E.B. White for young listeners

A story about the listens to longer stories milestone, recorded Mar 12, 2008

E.B. White has been immensely helpful in our transition to longer stories. First we read Charlotte's Web, and now we are in the midst of Stuart Little. White's rich descriptions and short chapters are perfect for young listeners. Each chapter has its own tension and resolution, so the child doesn't feel like she's listening to an interminably long book. So when we finish Stuart Little, we're going to pick up The Trumpet of the Swan!
