SCHOOL'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Each of three narrators brings distinctive touches to Rex's audiobook on school construction and the anxiety of the first day of school. Little does School know during the days it is being built of the children and activities that will be housed within its walls. Will it come to appreciate the importance of its world? Erin Bennett provides a steady and friendly voice as narrator. Her pace is measured but leisurely, and read-along listeners will have ample time to look over the detail-filled illustrations. Ron Butler and Pierce Cravens add pop to the comments of the school children as they arrive on the first day and a warm, affirming tone to Janitor, who has been School's companion throughout. Upbeat music and pleasing sound effects complete the production. A.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2018]
