It was an excellent read-aloud, and the reader did wonderful voices for the different characters, especially the rats, who talked a bit like mafia dons. We all enjoyed it, husband and 5- and 7-year-olds. I highly recommend the audio version of this, especially for people who might not otherwise have a chance to read it.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136520242269160147.post-89595314214948150182007-06-07T00:51:00.000-07:002007-06-07T00:51:00.000-07:00Sounds a bit like Stuart Little meets Jonathon Liv...Sounds a bit like Stuart Little meets Jonathon Livingston Seagull.
