ONE DAY IN THE EUCALYPTUS, EUCALYPTUS TREE

When a boy is swallowed by a hungry snake hiding in a eucalyptus tree, he must use his wits to escape. Narrator Dion Graham creates a high-pitched voice that perfectly embodies the clever child and contrasts with the malicious tone and deep pitch of the snake as he finds more food to fill his ever-expanding belly. Upbeat music highlights Graham's narration, while dramatic staccato tones increase the drama as the snake sneaks up on his next meal. Graham ends this exciting tale with a myriad of sound effects as the snake, now filled to the brim, burps--and his meals bolt away. Listeners will enjoy this delightful tale, embellished by music and theatrics. M.D. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2017]
