The Basket CaseThe story of “A Tisket, A Tasket.”
The feud went on for years – until the mystery of the disappearance of Lucy Locket’s green and yellow basket brings the families together under Mother Goose’s enigmatic wing.
New song:
Chameleon, Come Talk To Me
(From the upcoming book and CD: “Annie’s Animals”)

There is no failure, except to give up. Otherwise, everything else is just ruling out what doesn’t work, until you finally succeed at last.
At least, that’s what my mom always used to tell me when I’d get frustrated and want to give up.
That’s what today’s story is all about: don’t give up.
It’s what the web site, Inkless Tales, is all about, too. Visit sometime and take a look, play, read, draw, explore and more. www.inklesstales.com.
In the meantime: here’s this month’s PODCAST:

This time around, we talk about what it’s like to be the littlest – and left out of everything.

Welcome back to the Inkless Tales Podcast for Kids. Foolishness is our topic today, and we have a story, a poem and a song for you to enjoy. “Wet Roses,” “Meet My Dog,” and a story today that takes place in the rainforest about a foolish howler monkey and his wise friend, a red-eyed tree frog — a monkey who learns the value of friendship over foolishness.
Enjoy the offerings today — and if you like what you hear, visit Inkless Tales at www.inklesstales.com for more fun, games, stories and play.
All the best, Elizabeth Bushey
