Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook

🎙 Narrated by Phyllida Nash
59/100
👎 Skip It
Holly Webb writes the kind of gentle pet-rescue stories young animal lovers gobble up, and this set of five - a stray puppy, a lost kitten, a runaway hamster - hits that familiar comfort note. It's fairly formulaic if you've read her other books, and I couldn't confirm much about the specific production, but Phyllida Nash's narration should carry it along nicely for bedtime listening.
