I am Russell Howerton and I tell for the children and for those of you lucky enough to still be children at heart. Come travel with me to another time and place.
This Kipling "Just So" story is an imaginative and confusing (at least for the Jaguar) explanation of how the Armadillo came to be. It begins with a close encounter of the dangerous kind for two Amazonian creatures, but ends happily (except for the Jaguar). Did I mention confusing?? Better listen verrrrry carefully.
Like what you hear or have some suggestions??? Let me know. I very much enjoy hearing from you.
This is another Kipling "Just So" story that has a crab (obviously), a little girl, an old man, a rat, and a magician of course, to name just a few of the characters in this story.
There is nothing scary here unless an angry magician frightens you. Come to think of it,.......perhaps an angry magician SHOULD frighten you. Hehe.
This story is somewhat long (just under 28 minutes) so listen in installments or use it to "shorten" the trip for the children (or yourself).
Thanks to all of you who have left comments or sent e-mail. They certainly "recharge my batteries". Bless you.

This another "Just So" story by Rudyard Kipling, although I'm beginning to think they should be the "'Sclusively" stories because he uses that word so often.
It's about a Leopard and a Man who hunt together, but find that they must "change" to survive. Quite pleasant, nothing scary. It is implied that the Man and Leopard eat the animals they hunt but it is never actually stated.

This "Just So" story by Kipling is a bit longer than the others here, but the interaction/conflict between the cat and the woman may make it hard to "put down". Nothing scary here so invite the little ones in for a listen.
Please forgive the long pause between my last posted story and this one. With school out I have a responsibility to teach my sons the value of getting in a good days work around the house and yard. My efforts are not entirely appreciated (hehehe).
