    In The Shoe Bird, Jim Dale brings to life a flock of unforgettable bird characters: Arturo the parrot, Gloria the goose, Minerva the owl, and even the extinct Dodo! This is Eudora Welty's fantastical story of how some feathered friends made a fateful switch from flying to wearing shoes, little knowing that they would soon become the prey of Freddy the Cat!

    If you loved Peter & the Wolf as a child, you'll love this. My kids loved the music and I loved hearing Jim Dale again. A truly joyous experience.

    Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life and his most precious secret are put in jeopardy.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Invention of Hugo Cabret to be better than the print version?

    As the print version contained many illustrations, I believe that version may be better.


    Would you recommend The Invention of Hugo Cabret to your friends? Why or why not?

    I would recommend the story but probably recommend the print version. Perhaps due to the lack of illustrations, the story seemed to be missing something.


    What does Jeff Woodman bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

    He did an excellent job with characters.
