Elephant Story from Paul Messing <
As I am listening to audio about elephants, I have heard a few elephant-related pieces lately. This one is refreshingly real and engaging, and full of relevant information. This is not a script being read, but stories from the heart, from people who really care. It all comes across. The story that Susan Chernak McElroy tells after we hear from Carol Buckley is told so well, and carries a great deal of emotion. A great combination of stories and voices, including the music that wraps up this piece so well. Top notch.
