		<title>Wool Magic by Suzanne Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
One Spring, I was telling stories for four days at a large street festival.  I was a roving storyteller, mingling freely with the crowds, drawing children to me like a pied piper.  I used my most colorful one-pocket story apron and bravely set out.  Whenever there is a large event with many distractions, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little January Poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a sweet poem which is even nicer when told with puppets.  During the early years of childhood when developing language is one of the major achievements, we can support this big job by helping the children find and fine tune their &#8216;listening&#8217; ability.
