RABBIT HILL

"New folks comin,' oh my, oh my!" chant the animals on Rabbit Hill as they await the new people moving in. Lawson's charming Newbery winner (1945) is brought to life by reader Barbara Caruso. She applies her extraordinary talent to create well-matched voices for the individual animals: the Southern drawl of gentlemanly Father Rabbit, the congested tones of Phewey the Skunk and the rapid squeaks of Willie Mouse. Caruso's well-paced reading, rich characterizations and excellent rendering of the animals' feelings make RABBIT HILL an excellent choice for audio and a joy to experience for the whole family.
