Fat Cat and Friends

Featuring Margaret MacDonald's storytelling accompanied by Richard Scholtz's autoharp and dulcimer, this recording is full of lively, playful fare. These selections are ideal for expanding into song, dance, and creative drama. Includes stories adapted from MacDonalds' picture books, Fat Cat, Mabela the Clever, as well as several from her resource collection, Shake-it-up Tales. A children's librarian, Margaret Read MacDonald, and a traditional musician, Richard Scholtz, combine voice, dulcimer, and autoharp to enliven stories for families and children in libraries and at storytelling festivals nationwide. 1.
