From acclaimed puppeteer Noel Macneal (the puppeteer & the voice of "BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE") "Noel's Booknook" has Noel read classic stories, fables, myths, poems, and more in this new podcast for the whole family.

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919) is most famous for "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and its sequels, a total of 14 novels in the Oz series. He also wrote this, published in 1902, a "biography" about Santa Claus - where he grew up, who raised him, how he became immortal, and (probably the biggest discovery of all) how he's able to deliver all those presents in just one night.
