Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Inspired…youthful voice and astute sense of timing…a contemporary flavor that resonates with today’s children. He’s able to express Toby’s wonderful trusting nature, along with his optimism, loneliness and pluck, with equal ease. Toby’s affection for his monkey, Mr. Stubbs, is beautifully captured by Purinton.” —AudioFile
