Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren’t able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until June 30, 2023. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available! Today’s story is shared with permission of Penguin Random House Publishing Company. 

Nothing much is happening in the little town of Centerburg. So when an antique car, driven by a man with a very long beard, comes to town, everyone is interested. On the back of the car is his amazing invention: a musical mousetrap that doesn’t hurt the mice! Homer and the rest of the children can’t wait to see it in action. 

Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.

Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!
Let me know what you think! Please send an email to me at kluker@marshallpl.org. I'd love to hear from you!
