Annie and Snowball and the Dress-up Birthday

What could be more special than a birthday party, complete with favorite foods and favorite friends? How convenient it is that those friends, Cousin Henry and Dog Mudge, live next door to Annie and her rabbit, Snowball. What exactly does "dress-up" mean to Annie and to Henry? Cassandra Morris is a purposeful and engaged narrator. Her child-friendly voice welcomes young listeners. Her distinct speech and moderate pace let Rylant's unpretentious and rich story unfold. Listen in as a moose, a pirate, a gypsy, and a mummy come to visit a ribbon-bedecked girl and her tuxedo-wearing father. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
