Review dictated by my four year old:

“This is my favorite book, audio book. It’s my favorite because it’s super silly and interesting. This is a good one to listen to, because I like it in the car or when doing chores. Get it!”

Wonderful!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

To all my friends with kids - yes. Great story for children and parents.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The boy.

What does Kevin Killavey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great reading. My kids loved the voices he used for the various animals.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed quite a bit...all of us did.

Any additional comments?

Was really surprised at the one review trashing the narrator. We thought he was great.
I would suggest you listen to the sample and decide for yourself.

Monotone narration; fabulous story!

My kids loved this, but I was put off by the narration. So monotone I thought it was an electronic voice at first! Did enjoy his Australian accent, etc later, but the narration was disappointing overall. But a great story for sure!

Monotone...snooze

This narrator has only one voice...speaks a but too quickly and makes it very hard to listen to.

Wonderful Story

Downloaded this book as it was a prescribed reading for my 3rd grade daughter. We listed to it together to help her prepare for a reading test on this book. I ended up loving this whimsical short story so much that I looked up other books by this author.
