There's something utterly refreshing about the way Carl Sommer interacts with children throughout this DVD. As we watch the tale unfold onscreen, the video cuts away regularly to show him elaborating on the story and its implications with a group of kids to whom he is reading the story. Their questions and his answers are sincere, enthusiastic, and insightful. The combination of his warm, expert narration and those live interactions contains the human element so integral to storytelling and so often missing in video. This retelling of Aesop's classic fable, and especially Mr. Sommer's observations, help children understand the importance of honesty and the impact of their behavior on others. Each Sommer-Time Adventure DVD contains realistic sound effects during the story's visuals, a song from Karacter Kidz, and thoughts for parents and teachers from Mr. Sommer.
