A NEW BARKER IN THE HOUSE

The canine twins Morgie and Moffie are back and have just received the news that they'll soon have a new adopted hermano (brother). By the time Marcos arrives, Morgie and Moffie have an array of activities planned, and they're sure that Marco will be pleased. But will he? When Tomie dePaola narrates his own work, it's a pleasure. He brings deep understanding and love of family to the recording, as well as a twinkle and animation that make his presentation engaging. In his discreet way, dePaola underscores the family adjustments that are being made and the love that accompanies the hard work. Young listeners will enjoy this early reader title. A.R.
