Delightful story. Perfect narration.

Magical Car Adventure

This is a great little bedtime story of cars, adventure and magic. I enjoyed the narration and story thoroughly.

Great Family Read

The performance by David Tennant is amazing! The story is fun, and different from the classic movie with Dick VanDyke. We thoroughly enjoyed this audio book.

Not even close to the musical movie

Well I have discovered that my favorite movie from childhood is only Very Loosely based on Ian Fleming's book of the same name.

The only thing familiar from the movie I love so much was the car and the kids' names, everything else is different, no grandpa, no Truly, no child catcher or Baron. It was very odd to have it be familiar yet not at the same time.

I’m still trying to get over how different this was than what I was expecting; it is more similar to the Bond stories than the musical movie is. There are crooks and their hideout and trying to get away. This was a fun book but just know it is nothing like the movie of your childhood.

David Tennant's narration was fabulous though, great accents and voices and characters! Tennant’s narration made this book even better.

4 Stars

narration too fast but easily remedied

Playing this at about 85-90x sounded great, faster and it was like a runaway train. The story is a family favorite, (thankfully) bearing little resemblance to the movie. Charming, witty, whimsical - all the good stuff you could want with a side of derring-do.

Excellent narrator for a fantastic book!

David Tennant is an excellent narrator with great pacing and interesting and fun voices for characters. Our whole family enjoyed his rendition of this delightful story.

Best Bad Guy Names

The movie from the 60s was super weird. The book is so much better than the movie. I am really disappointed they changed the story so much from the book to movie. The storyline is so good and engaging! The bad guys had the best names and were just as "bad" as the villains in the movie. (excluding the child catcher,) David Tennant does amazing as the narrator. I would definitely read this again.

I highly recommend it as a book everyone in the family will enjoy as there are magical bits, historical bits and laugh out loud bits that keep you on your feet.
