The Laundry Story and the Bakery Story

This recording is a follow-up to The Downtown Story (FW07670) with children’s storyteller Helen Gene Purdy. Alternating between speaking and singing, Purdy tells two stories involving a mother and her young child (girl in the first, boy in the second) in two common scenarios: sending clothing to the laundry to be cleaned and visiting the bakery. Purdy describes the several aspects of laundry preparation, such as sorting clothes by color, using the washer, and wrapping laundry for delivery. On a visit to the bakery, Purdy sings about the equipment frequently used for baking, including the proofer, the oven, and tubes used for decorating cakes. Complete lyrics and musical notation are included in the liner notes.
