ANNIE AND SNOWBALL AND THE TEACUP CLUB

Cassandra Morris welcomes the listener to Annie's world with a gentle, child-friendly voice. Her animated presentation involves young ones immediately. She speaks clearly and takes on the characters’ interests as her own. Morris gives equal weight, as author Rylant always does, to the personality and ideas of each character. When Annie wants to find more people who share her interest in beautiful china teacups, it is her Cousin Henry with sidekick Mudge the dog, who takes Annie's passion to heart and sets her on the path to a delightful Saturday afternoon with her "dainty" friends.
