DANNY AND THE DINOSAUR AUDIO COLLECTION

Danny and the lovable dinosaur, who leaves the museum to play with Danny and his friends, are the focus of three of four stories on this audiobook. The fourth is about Sammy the Seal's day away from the zoo. The stories are simple and cheerful, concentrating on children's quotidian activities. There is no violence, and everyone behaves well throughout. The stories are read clearly and relatively slowly by Peter Lorangis and Charles Mintz, who both add just the right number of funny voices to keep things engaging. The simple text does make one wish for an accompanying book with pictures to follow. Nonetheless, this is a nice collection, just right for the under-6 set. A.C.S.
