This was a voicegalley so I cannot rate the final audiobook narrator's abilities but I can say that the synthesized voice was entertaining to listen to and I hope the final product also uses a narrator with a UK accent (Scottish preferably). ;)

Although my daughter had almost every Kathryn Lasky book growing up this is the first book of Kathryn's that I have read. I love the idea that the animals can all talk to and understand each other. I also love that Kathryn doesn't hide the death of the animals from children, it helps kids when they see other people (real and fictional) dealing with the death of a loved one.

I am glad that this is going to be a duology, I am looking forward to reading the conclusion of this story. ( )
