THE CAT WHO CAME IN OFF THE ROOF

Narrator Katherine Kellgren gives a nod to Maggie Smith in voice and tone as she brings humans and talking cats to life. Whether the character is an indignant human matron conniving to find homes for a pillowcase of kittens, a disdainful cat matron who can't abide her niece's habits, a distraught mother cat, or a scheming villain who's trying to appear friendly, Kellgren portrays him or her beautifully. She travels her vocal register, speeds breathlessly along, and is a model of elocution. As the heroine, a cat turned human, Kellgren speaks with catlike softness. Can Minou and newspaper reporter Tibble save the town? Eccentric?? Yes! And fun! A.R. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2016]
