No problem, I grew up with these books; happy to contribute to getting them out to a wider audience. :)

Glad to have you help! I've thought about doing them as group projects for awhile, but didn't know if they would attract readers. Happy to find that they have! :-)

Hello Maria
I'm recording chapter 2 and my voices are maybe getting a bit out of hand... should I be trying different voices or just keeping it uniform, especially since it's a group read?

Hi Marc,

You can do it which ever way you would like! We are bound to get many different ways of reading things in a group project. :-)

Here's chapter 2, I toned down Uncle James' voice a bit but please let me know if it's over the top. I'd rather get quality over quantity now so I have things more or less right from the start. :)
