Review: Winnie-the-Pooh on YOTO

October 4, 2023 by kmerwin Leave a Comment


Systems Librarian, Susie Bille, recommends Winnie-the-Pooh, The Complete BBC Collection

Written by A. A. Milne; read by Alan Bennett; available on YOTO.


Deann Campbell, Children’s and Young Adult Library Director, asked me to add some new children’s audiobooks for YOTO players – which she recently purchased for the Children’s Library – to our Collection.

YOTO players are a bit like a boom box built for three year-olds.

Kids pick out an individual story card, stick it into the player, and listen. Is it a toy? Yes. Does it play stories? Yes, and kids love them. Does it need the internet to work? No. Do we have a Winnie-the-Pooh story card? Yes.

So this ticked all the boxes on my list, and THEN I discovered I can download the app on my phone, and check out stories there as well. So on our last drive to Boise, my husband and I listened to Pooh on the hunt for honey. He looked somewhat like a dark cloud (shaped like a bear) floating in the sky under a blue balloon.

The bees became suspicious. Then we listened to him licking honey out of a jar, tracking himself in the snow, and finding Eeyore’s tail. He interrupted his adventures frequently for ‘a little something’ out of a honey jar.

It was delightful. Listening to Alan Bennett (the award-winning British playwright) reading Winnie-the-Pooh brings all the characters to life, exactly as I imagined a long time ago.

It’s time for more adventures in the hundred acre wood.

Find it for YOTO here.

“People of the Moon”

June 9, 2023 by kmerwin Leave a Comment

with Ted Stout 

For thousands of years people mostly avoided the lava fields of Idaho. Artifacts indicate that native people passed through, but they did not remain for long due to the lack of water. Later the trails that the Shoshone-Bannock created around the northern edge of the lava provided a path for Oregon bound migrants and ultimately highway motorists. Eventually curiosity about this unknown area led scientists and others to seek it out. In the 1920s, Robert Limbert explored the area and shared his adventures with a wider audience through his photography and writing. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge established Craters of the Moon National Monument, ushering in a new era of National Park Service management. Three other presidents expanded the boundary, leading to a much larger Monument and Preserve.

Ted Stout, author of the new book, Craters of the Moon National Monument, celebrates more than one hundred years of Craters of the Moon’s history with this engaging presentation. To illustrate the presentation, Stout draws extensively from park archives as well as collections at Boise State University, the USGS and other institutions.

This program will be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing. Vimeo link forthcoming. Books will be available for sale and a book signing will follow the program.

Ted Stout served as a park ranger from 1988-2020 at seven different national parks. He spent the last 17 years of his career as chief of interpretation and education at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. In 2022 his new pictorial guide to the one-hundred-year history of this national park was published.
