Mischief! Adventures of a Daydreamy Child is an audio
CD collection of six different skits or stories. Just place the
CD into a computer or CD player, and you are taken away into story
land. The first story on this CD was called "Ceiling Blues" and
involved an imaginary friend.
A homeschool family studying oral history or family folklore might
use this CD as a supplement. You could listen to a story and then
branch off and ask your children to write a story from their own
childhood. None of the stories specifically involved homeschooling
Lynn Ruehlmann talks about herself and her sister in these stories,
and my six-year-old could see a little bit of herself in these
stories. We listened to this CD in the car while traveling. The
middle schooler didn't care for the audio stories. He would have
liked more sounds in the audio track and a story about being a
boy. Ms. Ruehlmann uses many different voices in her stories to
distinguish her characters. On her website Ms. Ruehlmann describes
the different live performances that she can do. I imagine that
she is very expressive in person.
Thank you, Ms. Ruehlmann, for sharing a little bit of your childhood
with us.
