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 December 31, 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 HarperCollins Children’s Books.
The Franklin children have a bad habit of interrupting anyone who is talking. But Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has the cure! And then Jody Jones just doesn’t want to go to school anymore. He pretends to be sick so that he can become a carpenter and work on the treehouse, and of course carpenters don’t need to go to school. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has a cure for Jody, too. Here are two more funny and clever tales from Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Magic, by Betty MacDonald.
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!
