THE PERFECT PLACE

Dion Graham's performance will delight young listeners. A boy named Lucas comes home from school with a perfect score on his robot test. At home, however, life is not perfect--his dad's truck breaks down, orange juice is spilled on the floor, his mom works long hours, and the lights get cut off. That night, he dreams about a perfect place where perfect people live. But the place then turns out to be less than perfect. Graham beautifully breathes new life into de la Peña's story; his pacing works well for a tender bedtime tale. Through Graham's nimble and gentle narration young listeners will be transported to imperfectly perfect places in their dreams. P.P.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
