Book cover: “A Necklace of Raindrops” by Joan Aiken (Doubleday, 1968); audiobook read by Lizza Aiken (ABC Audio, 2016)

A collection of short stories for very young children. Aiken employs the same sort of text repetitions often seen in picture books, and structures her tales around wondrous impossibilities strung from matter-of-fact child logic. Lizza Aiken’s narration captures the dreamy storytelling essence.
