WOOF!

The first time Eric turns into a dog he is thrilled, then terrified, then worried. The second time, he can relax and enjoy the experience, along with his best friend Roy, who has always wanted a dog. Andy Crane ably expresses Eric's emotions as he changes back and forth between boy and dog. Crane's human voices--Eric, Roy, Eric's parents and sister, school friends--are well differentiated by changes in tone and inflection. Controlling the pacing of the story, Crane brings it to its ending, with a twist. W.L.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
