The Story of Susie, The Little Blue Coupe [Readlong Book/Record] (1970)
Well, The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met was (and still is) such a hit with Oscar that I jumped at the chance of collecting another in that series when I found it. Here’s The Story of Suzie, The Little Blue Coupe (based on this cartoon). So far Oscar has shown no real interest in it…which means it will be his brand new favourite on the third spin…but I’ve listened to the song and the story and even read along with it…I loved these things when I was little. The voices reading sound/ed so dated, so alien, so weird…they hooked you in, in a strange, peculiar way.
