American Tall Tales: A Companion Reader with Dramatizations

English

By (author): Jim Weiss

Illustrated by: Jeff West

This beautifully illustrated Companion Reader is an exact transcript of Jim Weisss award-winning storytelling performance of three classic American stories and one original tall tale. The Reader can be enjoyed on its own, or used along with the recorded performance to build strong language skills. Listen to the Jim Weiss stories, read along to improve fluency, vocabulary, and grammar, and then speak great words and sentences out loud by practicing and performing the short, accessible dramatic versions of Jims performances (including a stage play, a puppet show, and a dramatic monologue).

About Jim Weiss

In 1989 Jim Weiss set out on a mission: to record the greatest stories he knew from world literature and history and inspire families -- especially young listeners -- with a passionate love of the original classics. In the three decades since then Jim's narration voice and seemingly numberless character voices have formed foundational entertainment and education for millions of listeners around the world.Winning hundreds of awards Jims recordings range on the literary side from fairy tales through stories from Shakespeare Dickens and Conan Doyle while his history recordings bring to vivid life major historical events and personalities from the ancient world through the twentieth century.The inspiration for all this began early with parents and grandparents who told stories and read aloud to him skills which Jim joyously acquired and which led him to a degree in Communications and Speech from the University of Wisconsin Madison. Later his wife Randy earned her own national awards as a teacher and counselor and their shared passion for learning led to forming their company in 1989 long before the explosion of spoken word recordings made this a sensible decision. The recordings began winning listeners and national awards from the first. A few years ago the Weiss's licensed their recordings and business operations to Well-Trained Mind Press which has successfully introduced Jim's work into still more markets while Jim continues to write record teach and perform. Chris Bauer is a writer and actor based in Chicago. He received his BA in Drama from the University of Virginia in 2014 and since then has been acting and writing in Virginia New York and Chicago doing film and theater for both children and adults. He is currently studying acting and writing at the Second City. Jeff West is an established illustrator and his variety and bulk of work is expansive ranging from traditional art to art for TV and movies. He recently earned himself an Emmy nomination and has worked on blockbuster shows and films. He resides in Arizona.
