HOT-AIR HENRY

Animal lovers (not just cat lovers) will delight in this gem. Henry the cat is tired of being left behind while everyone else goes up in the gorgeous hot-air balloon. Christina Moore, who excels at narrating children's titles, does Henry great justice. She also sings and talks "cat" quite realistically. The other animals are equally well represented as they and Henry make their way up, up and away. Amazingly, Calhoun has created a rather believable story, which is enhanced by this vocal presentation. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 00]
