A wonderful audiobook!
The format of this book makes it perfect as an audiobook! Each chapter is written an audio recording, and the production - using multiple narrators and great sound effects - really bring this to life. The performances are excellent, and the story is well paced and engaging, with likable characters. Highly recommended, and great fun, not just for kids!
