Über diesen Titel

 An eccentric schoolteacher and a widow-lady babysitter are the heroines in these new digital studio recordings of Donald Davis' two all-time most-requested stories. "It was the forty-second year she had taught fourth grade," yet there was nothing routine about Miss Daisy or her methods. Rather than settle for textbook work - Miss Daisy left textbooks in the big closet - she took her class on a year-long imaginary world tour. In "Miss Annie, when two boys need watching until their school teaching mom gets home after work, they find themselves entrusted to a widow who is so much fun the whole town is sure she's C-R-A-Z-Y.

Beschreibung von Audible

On the first day of school Miss Daisy caught a mouse and squashed it in front of her speechless class - there was never a discipline problem after that. Similarly, when Miss Daisy revealed that in the original Olympics they ran without clothing, the classroom was as quiet as when the mouse died. North Carolina storyteller Davis's pacing and tone are perfect as he delivers these gems. Later, when Davis's mother needed a babysitter, she found a woman "who was old, she could have been 50, she was up there." Davis's emphasis on the words "old" and "up there" perfectly captures a kid's view of age. Most beautiful is his recitation of Kipling's poetry as the babysitter entertains the children.
