THE WONDERS OF CHILDHOOD

The Magic of Falling Teeth by Sharon Bar-David
First, Sharon takes us to a whimsical world that most of us have probably forgotten. It's filled with fairies and wiggly teeth.

The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
We'll close the program with a bedtime story read by Basil Rathbone. A story from The Happy Prince and Other Tales published by Wilde in 1888. A giant erects a wall to keep children out of his garden, reaping the consequences of a continuous winter.
