FREDDY GOES TO THE NORTH POLE

The adventure of this troupe of animals is every child's dream, while the intelligence of these anthropomorphized animals will appeal to most adults' sense of humor, as well. But the true gem of this audiobook is the wonderful narration by John McDonough. For the most part, Freddy is a charming story, although it drags in places. But McDonough brings both the barnyard and the trip to the Pole to life. He imbues each character with a total personality, not just a voice. A charming tale, superbly told. W.L.S.
