Weston Woods gave me the chance to be part of  an ALA Notable production! You might remember my post about recording the background clucks and squawks for Rebecca Emberley & Ed Emberley’s Chicken Little, hilariously narrated by the reboubtable Walter Mayes. Connie Rockman & I had a complete blast behind the mic providing the “voices” of Mayes’ panicked friends, a complete about-face from our usual seats behind the table in an ALA award committee. Chicken Little gave us the chance to tag on Walter’s tail-feathers and bask in the reflected glow of not one but TWO Notable seals on the production – one from the Notable Children’s Recordings committee for the audiobook, and a Notable Children’s Video as well. The best moment? When I played the audio for my granddaughter, who astutely crowed “Grandma!” when she heard my “Awks” and “Eeps”
