I have all three of Mary Jo's CDs and this one took me by surprise.  hist wist is a favourite of mine by e.e. cummings and MJ's version is CREEPY!  I have read this out loud to many kids (as a children's librarian), but when I heard this version, it put the poem into orbit - BRILLIANT.  This track is not for those who scare easily.  But the rest of the CD is fine.  Funny, fun, spooky, and for a "dead" subject, Mary Jo brings so much life to it.  This, I think, is my favourite of the three, although Muffin Man is really close behind.  A great choice.

I bought this because I do "Extreme Halloween" each year for the kids in our neighborhood. I love Mary's style of storytelling and her jokes are perfect to tell the children as they stand in line waiting for candy! If you like a good storytelling cd this is the one to purchase. Adults and children alike will love this one. : )
