Play Tales all started when I was visiting my nephews in Colorado. The weather made it an "in-door" day and we were all tired of watching television. My in-laws had a pocket window with a bench and we decided it could be "the bridge" of a spaceship. I talked the kids through the launch procedures, mission steps, and re-entry like a regular "mission control." Plumbing the depths of my memory of the movie Space Camp, I guided them through their mission to the moon. They enjoyed it so much, I decided to write and then record more stories.
