PENNY POLLARD'S PASSPORT

Penny Pollard is her quirky, funny self, but this time she's in the UK. When her radical friend, Alistair, wins a trip, he invites Penny to join him and his mother. The result is two very different viewpoints from the friends as they become tourists. Alistair claims that even babies had to toil in the mines in their diapers while Penny searches for the Loch Ness monster and tries to match up fellow tourists. Narrator Rebecca Macauley is winning in many nationalities, including that of the tour guide who comes to life at trip's end (tip time). This story is just for fun or an excellent way to prepare kids for an international trip. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
