Story
The 10th collaboration between Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell celebrates the everyday bravery of trying new things for the very first time. While our spunky heroine, Frankie, learns to ride a bike, tie her shoes, make new friends, love her first dog, borrow a book from the library, say when she's wrong, try yucky food, and work with her dad, she also learns that trying new things is how she grows - and that being brave enough to do so is what growing up is all about.

My kids really like this book!
Would you consider the audio edition of When I Was Little to be better than the print version?
I haven't seen the print version, but I would say no. The only reason I would prefer the book to this audio is because I don't think JLC narrates it very well (and yes, I realize she wrote it). I just think I could read this book to my children in a much more interesting way and with much more enthusiasm...
What aspect of Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance would you have changed?
She's not a very enthusiastic reader, I find her voice very bland.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not me, but my children like it.
Any additional comments?
Although I have negative comments concerning the reading of the book, I do like the book and let me say that my children actually ask to hear this one so I did rate it above average and have since purchased additional books by JLC.
