Beginning with some of the earliest he heard as a lap-child, Donald Davis recounts Little Red Hen, Jack and Jill, and The House that Jack Built, a Walking Game. Also includes Davis's own retelling of Jack and the Animals, which is published as a picture book in our August House LittleFolk line. Continuing in a traditional theme, the recording features stories about Jack and a narrative on making molasses with Grandmother that leads into the final story, The Lady in a Syrup Can. Grandma Davis left her grandson with scores of traditional and family stories, and these are her stories for telling to the youngest audiences—especially to the lap-held audience.
