Worth listening to and watching.

Tumblebook Library has gone
subscription. The best overall read-aloud site, with animation, funny voices,
and sound effects. Hundreds of stories, puzzles, games, and quizzes, more
added constantly. These are actual books found in most school libraries. A
subscription site, but it has a 30 day free
trial. Well worth the money. Special rates for annual school site subscriptions.
This is definitely worth a fundraiser. Great for Elmos
or Prometheans!

Full two page spread of each scene. "And it was still hot."
Wizard of Alderley Edge Excellent video poem from students of Bradford University, wonderful rhyming poem, good animation and music, the narrator is great! Covers some good ancient English mythic themes (sacred mounds and sacred wells, white horses, armies asleep underground). Good stuff! Thanks to Josie Whitehead, who listed this video on her stupendous site - Josie's Poems.
