A big -- I mean really BIG thank you -- again goes to Barb Huntington from Wisconsin for making these happen! The *only cost* to CSLP was for the translations by a Spanish Language Poet and for a professional Spanish actor to the voice over!

Several of the radio spots are based on a poem written for the 2006 CSLP manual by Judy Farrow-Busack. The full poem, "Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales," can be found on page 71 in the manual. Judy is a retired children's librarian. She currently is a writer and performs as a storyteller.
Judy lives in West Bend, Wisconsin. The other spots were written with collaboration of several staff persons at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Production Manager, voice on the English versions, and writing assistance for the radio spots--Ron Anderson, Publications Editor, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

Translation and voice for Spanish versions--Allegro Translations, Inc., Madison, Wisconsin.
