It’s a pity the five won’t see Dobby again.:(

Great book. Highly recommend. 15 word rec is stupid. Please revise the rules or no one will leave a review. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Awesome.

the best book in the world

we loved this book so much we have been listening to it in the car we have loved it
the names of the children:
gorgina girl that wants to be a boy
dick boy and is very nice
julian boy and is very nice just like dick
ann is a young girl very nice like her brothers
we have loved it so far and there is no bad words or anything that is like that gorginas parents lie to her and are not nice they baby the other three we have said that they are mean to gorge

A lovely family story

The narrator does a splendid job with the characters by giving each a unique voice.

Although some of the children’s antics are quite old fashioned it is understandable given this book was written in 1942. It can offer great opportunities for discussion should one wish to engage this way

Gorgeous stories

I have always loved the Famous Five series. Safe, fun, action (and food) filled adventures for kids! Jan Francis is an excellent narrator, not only giving each character a distinct voice, but acting and performing throughout. Highly recommended.

Great story

My children looked forward to listening to this story every day. They loved the adventurous plot.

Great adventure and splendid performance!

Thumbs up to a great adventure. The children are lovely and the story has a great twist. Could do without some of the boy vs girl issues but overall great.
