Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A wonderful collection of colorful,
warm, and lively stories to be read over and over.” —Primary Times
“Anna Hibiscus is a young girl who
lives in West Africa. Although her life and her customs differ from those of
children in other countries, she shares the same childhood curiosity and
emotions…Anna has a playful and silly side, so her stories make for fun
listening. Mutiyat Ade-salu narrates Atinuke’s second title in the series with
a sweet voice, using African accents for speaking roles and painting a clear
picture of Anna’s adventures. A great choice for classroom or home listening.” —School Library Journal (starred audio review)
“When a talented storywriter and a
compelling storyteller get together, the result is an irresistible audio
experience…Mutiyat Ade-Salu's soft-spoken voice and confiding tone guide the listener
into the thick of Anna’s adventures. Her leisurely pace and hints of pregnant
pauses heighten the drama. She also voices a calm and wise grandmother and is
spot-on as Anna’s younger twin brothers, Double and Trouble. Winner of
AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
