GOONEY BIRD COLLECTION :
Gooney Bird Greene; Gooney Bird and the Room Mother; Gooney the Fabulous; Gooney Bird is So Absurd

Lois Lowry
Read by Lee Adams

When Gooney Bird enters Mrs. Pigeon's second-grade class, she lets everyone know she likes to be "right smack in the middle of things." It's not long before the eccentric young storyteller has everyone—including her teacher—waiting to hear every word she says. Lee Adams captures the listener’s rapt attention as she demonstrates the power of storytelling. Best of all, Adams delivers Gooney Bird's talent for tales with a slight Southern accent and flawless timing that makes the most of Gooney Bird's humor and sense of surprise. Each of the four adventures, including the newest, GOONEY BIRD IS SO ABSURD, has much to teach about writing. All are expressed with joy by Adam's Gooney Bird as she delivers a range of genres—from fables to poetry. S.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2009]
