THE TALE OF SAMUEL WHISKERS Or, The Roly-Poly Pudding

Similar to Peter Rabbit, Tom kitten gets into mischief frequently. British actress Patricia Routledge characterizes the frantic mother cat and her cousin, who are searching for him. She speaks slowly for the mother and strongly for the cousin (poor cousin's been the recipient of Samuel's mischief, too). Routledge narrates almost in a whisper in a proper British accent. A few bars of music in the middle seem to denote a chapter break. This brief production is agreeable listening for children. A.G.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
