HARRY THE POISONOUS CENTIPEDE: A STORY TO MAKE YOU SQUIRM

It's the rare author who should record her own books. Lynne Reid Banks is a delightful exception to that rule. A trained actress with a beautiful voice, she merits high grades for expressiveness, empathy, pacing, consistency, characterization and humor. The story itself is a treasure. It takes us into a completely different world, where we share the physical sensations, joys, loves and terrors of a creature that under any other circumstances would give us the willies. It's a book that the whole family will chuckle over and that parents won't mind listening to more than once. A keeper! S.P.
