The Silver Bullet...
Revisado: 01-09-15
What did you love best about A Thicket of Tales: Volume 2?
The first one was so good that I bought the second one halfway through our road trip. No matter how cranky my kiddos were, there was peace (and dare I say actual happiness?) the minute that I hit play on these stories. My husband started calling it "the silver bullet" about 2 hours in... These are going to have a permanent spot in our cars and at home, too. Might have to break down and get the CD, too...
What other book might you compare A Thicket of Tales: Volume 2 to and why?
Each of these stories are really different from one another, so I'm not sure what I'd compare it to. I guess maybe I'd compare it to Grimm's Fairy Tales because of the adventure, imagery, ad vocabulary, but with some softened edges! (No scary witches here, just characters you can root for who are really good role models.)
Which scene was your favorite?
I'd have to say that my favorite scene was in The Good Son, when Jack is fleeing, overcoming obstacles all the way... (Don't want to give t away!) Definitely a lot of excitement, and my kids actually clapped at the end. Does it get better than that?
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Ummm...yeah. We listened to the whole thing, including the last ten minutes in front of a restaurant when the kids didn't want to get out of the car until they heard how it ended! (I have to admit, it didn't take too much convincing. We were pretty into it, too.)
Any additional comments?
This series is AWESOME. Works for lots of ages, boys and girls, and you can actually feel GOOD about turning it on. It's amazing to me that we have so much kid stuff at home and I always felt like I was trying to find the least objectionable option. Bonus? My kids actually remembered what they heard, asked what words meant, and talked about things they learned.

Saved My Sanity On Our Car Trip!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
ABSOLUTELY. This was sooooooo awesome... I decided to try it after reading about it in a mom blog, since we have two littles (a boy and a girl) and were planning to drive to see family over the holidays. I was TOTALLY floored. THEY LOVED THEM!!! No fighting, they actually listened, talked about them afterward, kept asking to hear them again...They were a good length, and having several stories made it easier to turn them off when I needed to - great for bedtime so I didn't get stuck with a half an hour. Seriously, they're great. I actually felt good about what we were all listening to.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I'd have to say Maria, although part of that is just because the other stories are more about the plot. (It was during this story that I knew this series was a winner - both my daughter AND son were pulling for Maria.)
What about A. D. Hasselbring’s performance did you like?
I loved that he sounds like an actual adult. No squeaky voices, obnoxious sound effects, or crazy music. He did a great job of storytelling, and he had both of my kids, hook, line, and sinker.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
And it only goes to show...
Any additional comments?
There's no way to describe how happy we are that we had this audiobook with us on our "old school road trip." Our kids were more into these stories than the DVDs we brought, and my husband and I were ecstatic.
