In searching the Web, I discovered that Judy had recorded several talking books. These are available only on cassette. All but Thumbelina are in print as of this writing. I especially recommend Amazing Grace as that has been such an important part of Judy's life and musical success. It offers some insight into Judy's life as it tells her relation to the song.
