Audio Reviews:

"Poetry always comes to life when it is spoken and here the perfect blending of voices and words becomes a song to the ears... a treat for all ages."
                    starStarred Review - KLIATT
 
"Melissa Hughes and Scott Snively and supporting young voices transport the listener to Fleischman's world of insects and birds. The play between multiple voices brings natural moments into memorable focus...listen and enjoy—this recording is an audio treat!"
                    starEarphones Award, AudioFile
 
 
"This audio is magical. The duets with narrators Melissa Hughes and Scott Snively are industrious and charged with life."
                    - Bennet Pomerantz, audiobookcafe.com
 
 
"Hughes and Snively, with some assistance from several other performers, rise to the occasion, giving Fleischman's words the cheerful musicality the author intended. The result is verse that has an appealing theatrical quality. The cast skillfully energizes Fleischman's work."
                    starStarred Review, Publishers Weekly
