JUDY MOODY & STINK The Holly Joliday

In the Moody household, preparations are underway for the holiday season—lists, decorations, and practice for the Holly Joliday Holiday Happening at school. Judy wants to do something Hawaiian for her class’s piece; younger brother Stink is fixated on snow. Virginia is due for a snowstorm, and the eager Stink is ready with his very own dendrite costume. Barbara Rosenblat does it all—singing in a childlike voice, squawking like a parrot, dripping bossiness when Judy berates Stink, whining as Stink responds to his sister. She also produces credible teacher voices for Mr. Todd and Mrs. D. Rosenblat sets a fast pace but also highlights pivotal moments, including the many seasonal references to books, songs, and sayings. “Cool Yule!” A.R. 2011 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2011]
