Nostalgia

I grew up reading these books, and to have them easily accessible for when I’m nostalgic via audio makes me perk up with glee!

MOAR MADELINE PLEASE!

You know, this was a really fun little story, but certainly not the most famous Madeline story. But there's a reason Madeline has been such an enduring character, and this story, as short as it is, speaks to that. It's simultaneously fun, funny, and striking. The added artwork makes it all the more charming. So, yeah, moar Madeline, plz!

A joy to read for young and old

Where does Madeline's Rescue rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best that I've read to my 4 year old. Excellent story line with a wonderful narration.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Madeline's Rescue?

The part that my 4 year old repeats and laughs at is where madeline gets on a chair and defends her dog Mrs. Genevieve.

Have you listened to any of Pauline Brailsford’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first time that we have listened to a Pauline Brailsford performance, but it won't be the last.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

We listend to it all in one sitting...twice!

Any additional comments?

We would love to have more of these types of audio books with just a bit more animation and the ability to read or have the words read.

Excellent book, but not like the one I read long ago

This isn’t like the book I read back in the 90s, whenever I was at Bluey R5 elementary school. However, I think it has some of the same aspect. Yes, where are the other actors and actresses? I listen to this book on that date back then, and they had actors and actresses other than the narrator. I actually think the narrator was the same as the one here. Very good, however, so I can’t cuddle too much. I don’t know how to say thank you in French, but thank you in that language.

Story has images on Andriod app

I bought this story to listen to at night with my kids, but I didn't realize the app shows illustrations while it plays. We love it!
