He especially loves Puss in Boots, The Frog Prince and The Brave Little Tailor.  Ms. Kidder actually does a great job reading the stories, even breaking into a few different voices for each character*.  We&#8217;ve found ourselves spontaneously breaking out in pieces of the stories around the house: e.g. &#8220;Youngest princess!  Keep your promise to me youngest princess!&#8221; in a froggy voice.<\/p>\n<p>* The other tape is read by Ed Begley, Jr., who is somewhat more sleep-inducing and less entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/adbusters.org\/metas\/eco\/bnd\/index.php\">Buy Nothing Day<\/a> &#8212; don&#8217;t forget to fight the consumerist agenda, you stinky hippie!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/adbusters.org\/metas\/eco\/bnd\/index.php\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mauraweb.com\/images\/bnd2006.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last xmas my mom got Gus a couple of fairy tales on tape for the car.
