RED RIDING HOOD AND GOLDILOCKS
Recordings for children from Windham Hill—A Rabbit Ears Production
The classic story of Little Red Riding Hood and the much-beloved tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears are among the most cherished stories in children's literature. These perennially delightful tales will capture children and adults as they have for many generations.
Little Red Riding Hood is a timeless fairy tale that teaches valuable lessons about caution, trust, and bravery. The story follows a young girl who wears a distinctive red hooded cloak as she visits her grandmother’s house. Along the way, she encounters the cunning Big Bad Wolf, who attempts to deceive her. The narrative highlights themes of danger and the importance of listening to parental advice, while also showcasing the cleverness and courage of the protagonist.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is another favorite story that explores themes of curiosity, respect for others' property, and consequences of one’s actions. In the tale, a young girl named Goldilocks enters the home of three bears while they are away. She tries their porridge, chairs, and beds, discovering the differences between each and ultimately causing a bit of chaos. The story gently encourages children to consider boundaries and the impact of their behavior on others.
These two stories have been passed down orally through generations before being compiled into various books and adaptations worldwide. Their enduring popularity is due in part to the universal messages embedded in the narratives, engaging characters, and easily relatable scenarios for children.
Narration: The recordings feature the warm and engaging narration of Meg Ryan, whose voice has a soothing and expressive quality that appeals to young listeners and adults alike. Her interpretation brings the stories to life, making the experience immersive and enjoyable.
Production Team:
The production is skillfully managed by producers Cookie Marenco, Mark Sottnick, and Beth Polish. Their combined expertise ensures high-quality audio recordings that balance storytelling with musical and sound effects, enhancing the listener's experience.

Music and Lyrics:
An enchanting musical score composed by Art Lande accompanies the narration. The music adds emotional depth and atmosphere, using gentle melodies and rhythmic patterns that complement the storytelling, further engaging young listeners.
Illustration:
Visual artwork by Laszlo Kubinyi enhances the overall presentation with expressive and charming illustrations. These images capture key scenes and characters, providing visual stimuli that enrich the listener's imagination and understanding of the stories.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
