Good story marred by lackluster narration

Would you try another book from Nikki Grimes and/or Nikki Grimes?

I might. I'm not opposed to her as an author but I didn't like her narration.

What other book might you compare Barack Obama to and why?

I bought it thinking it would be a short biography similar to the "Who Was X?" series. Unfortunately, it had less content and weaker narration. We didn't seem to learn much from it, or find it very enjoyable.

What didnt you like about Nikki Grimess performance?

She wasn't a smooth or engaging narrator. My son and I had a hard time paying attention, which is surprising since Obama's life is such an interesting story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Sure -- I would enjoy seeing a film about Obama's life.

It was written in a way that kept him interested while giving enough facts for a great presentation. He scored well

I bought this for my child's elementary school presentation. It was written in a way that kept him interested while giving enough facts for a great presentation. He scored well, enjoyed reading it and learned a lot. In the age of text messaging and constant communication I feel like Samuel Morse should be more of a household name. Highly recommended.

They would be great if we were school kids in about 4th or ...

They would be great if we were school kids in about 4th or 5th grade> I personally did not need all that information at 77 yes of age, if I would have known it was a comic book I would not have order it.

love reading about historical events with these books

My boys, ages 8 and 10, love reading about historical events with these books, which are more like graphic novels (comic books). The book manages to include all the important facts in a fun and entertaining way.

Great Info - perfect for kids!

This is a history of Samuel Morse and the telegraph. It is presented as a graphic comic- which is great for the younger set! Kept my 9 year old son's attention- as we are working on his Science Fair project- and he was able to process the information in this book and understand it.

Do you know Morse?

Informative text from start to finish.

Title: The Worry Tree

Author: Marianne Musgrove

Narrator: Kate Hood

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-08

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Just because something's not magic doesn't mean it can't be magical...

Juliet's a worrywart, and no wonder! Her little sister, Oaf, follows her around taking notes and singing 'The Irritating Song' all day long. Her parents are always arguing about Dad's junk. Nana's so tired of craft lessons that she starts barbecuing things in the middle of the night. And Juliet's friends, Lindsay and Gemma, are competing to see which of them is Juliet's best friend. Juliet can't fit in any more worries!

But then she makes a remarkable discovery. Behind the wallpaper in her new bedroom, Juliet uncovers an old painting of a very special tree. Nana remembers it well. It's the Worry Tree, and with the help of a duck called Delia and the other Worry Tree animals, Juliet just might be able to solve some of life's big problems.

Editorial Reviews:

Juliet already has to deal with her obnoxious little sister, her squabbling parents, and her eccentric Nana when her two friends, Lindsay and Gemma, begin to compete to see which one is Juliet's best friend. Narrator Kate Hood's performance is bright and warm, and each character in this story is given a rich, distinct voice perfectly attuned to their personality. As anxious Juliet discovers an old painting of a special tree behind the wallpaper in her bedroom and discovers how the Worry Tree can help her deal with her problems, Hood loosens the kinks in her voice, adding a sense of relief and joy. This story is a wonderful reminder that even ordinary objects can have magical effects.

Great Story for a Child That Worries!

My 10 year old loves this book. It's a nice story not a "self help book" Helps him feel good he's not the only one that worries. Doctor recommended! I have not read it but if he likes thats good enough for me. I bought used so if you feel your not sure your child will like it that's the best way to go I always do that with the books I'm not sure about.

Five Stars

I love reading this book to my classroom.

Thank you for writing this book!

My daughter has been reading this book with her therapist to help with her anxiety. I like that she has a character to relate to and not make her feel alone with her anxiety.

An excellent book for kids who worry

An excellent book for kids who worry. We got it for our anxious preschooler when she was going through a particularly stressful time. We've had it a few years now and it lives on her nightstand. We read it together when she's feeling particularly anxious. It's truly one of her favorite books. Just wonderful.

excellent book for a child who maybe unsure

excellent book for a child who maybe unsure. I purchased this book for my 10 year old when her dad and I were going through a separation. It really helped her deal with and express her feelings

Excellent intro for children

A clever way to introduce children to the history of ancient Egypt. Presentation sails right along prompting me to also obtain the written book for the kids as additional format/reference. Narration and pace is very good.

Title: What Katy Did

Author: Susan Coolidge

Narrator: Laurel Lefkow

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-08

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Meet Katy Carr. She's Impulsive, gangly, adventurous, awkward, and brave; she loves clambering over fences, sitting on roofs, making up games, or going for picnics with her five brothers and sisters (much to the horror of her Aunt Izzie). But when she falls from a swing, she suddenly has to cope with being stuck indoors - maybe forever.

What Katy Did is fresh, lively, funny, and moving; and Katy herself is a warm and loving character that listeners have taken to their hearts for over a 130 years.

Editorial Reviews:

Katy Carr grows from a heedless girl to a responsible teen in this classic story. Narrator Laurel Lefkow brings Katy's earnest ambitions to life with a pleasant voice. She succeeds in conveying the simple sweetness of this old-fashioned family story. While modern listeners may not understand Katy's protracted illness, they will identify with her desire to endure patiently and to be a help to her family. Voices for each of Katy's five siblings are distinct, and the adult voices of her father and Aunt Izzy are equally strong. A sensitive abridgment also contributes to this fine recording. Take a step back in time with this hopeful story of family life.

Members Reviews:

I enjoyed it in my childhood and I recently enjoyed it ...

I would not deign to malign a childhood classic such as this. I enjoyed it in my childhood and I recently enjoyed it again. It is possibly a little Olde Worlde for the kids of today but avid readers will still get pleasure from this series. This era of writing has passed and I think the world is poorer for it.

nostalgic indulgence

I think 40 years must have passed since I last read What Katy Did. As a child I read it several times, and although not tall like Katy, in many other ways, being the eldest, a bit of a story teller, and often trying so hard to be good but often failing, I felt I WAS Katy. Reading it now as an adult I can see the strong moral overtones that underlay the story... virtues of patience, tolerance and kindness, that I half realised were in the story, but as a young reader, I think I glossed over in my race to see what would happen to Katy.

I would not recommend this to any younger readers who have not developed reading stamina, but there are still some romantic young souls out there who will also fall under Katy's spell. For adults out there who want to revisit Katy... do it, it may surprise you how much you have forgotten!

Enjoyable, but not on par with other Puffin Classics.

I'm usually a fan of classic children's literature, and I've thoroughly enjoyed many other Puffin Classics, but What Katy Did was just okay. The moral of the story is a bit heavy handed, and Katy, although cute, is hardly one of those wonderfully charming and charismatic characters that will stay with you forever (like Anne of Green Gables or Jo from Little Women). If you like this genre, What Katy Did is worth reading, but it probably won't win a permanent place on your shelf.

Charming, sweet, fun...

Really cute book for kids. Maybe not the most compelling or exciting, but very nice and clean and entertaining. Most of all it is charming. I don't have kids, but I would buy this for them in a heartbeat. Maybe I should start compiling a list!

For adults and children alike

This is a classic book I have never read until now. The wonderfully boisterous Carr family is a delight. Their father, Dr Carr, knows how to bring children up with freedom and love.
