You already know by know we’re Eric Carle fans around here, but what I didn’t know is that there are some lovely read-alongs on YouTube.

So, I’m sharing.  They’re not just for children.

First, The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle.  The embedding at YouTube has been disabled, so go directly here to view.

Then, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? read by Bill Martin, the author, which I’ve included below.

And last but not least, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me.  Like The Very Quiet Cricket, the YouTube link has been disabled, so you’ll have to go here to view.

Enjoy!

And don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a free admission to the Mother’s Plunge here.  Deadline is tomorrow night (Saturday) at midnight CST!  Hurry, hurry!  I would so love to see you there.
