GRANDPA GREEN

In this short audiobook, narrator Noah Galvin manages to convey the depth of this children's story, which encompasses the span of Grandpa Green's full life as seen by his great grandchild. Galvin's artful pacing highlights some of the punch lines, and his unembellished narration conveys a pure and sentimental quality to the recounting of Grandpa's life. However, while Galvin's charming narration does justice to the story, it's even better with the actual picture book in hand because much of the story relies on the illustrations.
