5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Storyteller!.......2005-05-12


This CD has 4 execllent stoies on it.Elizabeth Falconer writes one graet story, Little Pink Fish, that I like really really much. Atabichi,the Hoppositional Frog, says all his sentences backwards. He is a silly hoppisite frog.
The rest of the stories are just great.I love all of them, just like I love the instruments too.They sound so beautiful. She plays the koto in three songs and she plays the sanshin on one. They sound interesting. Kintaro-the Strong Little Boy Who Sucked his Thumb is funny. She said to watch out for the Oni monster. Kintaro always sucked his thumb. Falconer is a great storyteller. Love,
Your best friend, Dishyra

Elizabeth Falconer has another winner with "Little Pink Fish." Her ability to combine fresh interpretations of traditional Japanese folk tales is truly exceptional. And, the music of the traditional Japanese koto in melodies and sound effects gives the child an education in music ethnocology without them even knowing it. In "Atabichi, the Hoppositional Frog," the lovely minor chords of Okinawan music provide a backdrop for the story that gives it authenticity and the unique flavor of Okinawan culture that is separate from the rest of Japan.

As a person of Japanese descent raised in America, I'm truly grateful that an artist like Ms. Falconer is available to families who want to maintain cultural ties with our heritage. For our children, they are certainly grateful that this is being done in a fun way! However, for those children of other cultures, "Little Pink Fish" still has a universal appeal that doesn't come off as "educational," it's just captivating and purely enjoyable story telling. It's recommended for ages 4 and up, but my 2-year old daughter was singing along with "Tomodachi Kintaro...." during her first listening experience the other night before bed. The next morning, she was asking for "Little Pink Fish" upon waking.

I highly recommend Ms. Falconer's Koto World CDs to parents and children alike. Besides the story telling CDs, the koto music ones are also wonderful for all ages. "Oyasumi" has become our standard new baby gift to friends who all say how much they love it!
