Locals Jr., Bedtime Stories

Elizabeth Dowed, Yurtle the Turtle

Welcome to the new year! We're kicking it off with a story that is not at all political...

A Christmas Carol, Staves 4 & 5, Laurie McCants

Laurie McCants will finish her reading of A Christmas Carol in today's episode. I won't tell you how it ends but... it's not bad. Locals Jr. will take a break until January 10. We'll be back then with a slightly different format and lots more stories. Have a pleasant holiday break.

A Christmas Carol, Staves 2 & 3, Laurie McCants

When last we left our hero, Ebenezer Scrooge, he had just fallen asleep after meeting the ghost of his dead business partner and visiting his Christmases past. Tonight, more journeys and more ghosts.

A Christmas Carol, Stave 1, Laurie McCants

Welcome to Christmas week on Locals Jr. The next three days will be Locals Jr.'s gift to your family, a reading of Charles DIckens' A Christmas Carol by Laurie McCants. This its a profound story of a man who is led to look into himself, at his life and his impact on the world. This is a journey we all should take (maybe without the ghosts however).  Enjoy.

Elizabeth Dowd, The Polar Express

Christmas is a time of traditions and it is a family tradition for Elizabeth Dowd to hang out between the tree and the fire to read The Polar Express. We're ending this week on Locals Jr. in that way. All aboard.
