Inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau, D.B. Johnson tells the story of a frugal bear named Henry who sets about building a small cabin in the woods and ends up with a much bigger home than he and his friends ever imagined. Narrated by James Naughton with music by Jon Carroll.
It isn't how fast you get someplace, but what you do along the way: that's the philosophy behind this story about two friends who agree to meet 30 miles away in Fitchburg. In this story inspired by Thoreau's WALDEN, Henry elects to take a very long nature walk, while his friend chooses to work to earn his train fare. A step-lively narration by James Naughton and Jon Carroll's music to hike to make this journey fun and thought-provoking too.
