Love it!!

As my BFF says, "I could listen to Julie Andrews read a phone book". Nice selection of poems covering the entire year. This and her other book of poems puts me to sleep at night... NOT because the book is boring but because of her soothing voice.

Julie and her daughter do a good job

What made the experience of listening to Julie Andrews' Treasury for All Seasons the most enjoyable?

That it was fun, but more geared to kids, I still enjoyed it, they read some good poetry, and stuff. It just missed being a 5 star thing by a little but it just lack that little spark for me the adult listener. (Why I was listening to kids was the problem but it said it had a lot of poetry I liked to hear and also like Andrews.)

Who was your favorite character and why?

It was a few people reading poems, it had to find a favorite character, My favorite poem was by Langston Hughes.

I'm saving this, as well as the Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs and Lullabies, to read to my future grandchildren, and of course, enjoy them myself until then!

ABSOLUTELY MORE THAN I EXPECTED!!!

As Julie says"A time to cuddle and explore". Exploring the wonders and people all around us through a different looking glass.

A disappointment😐😔

Some of the poems bothered me. There was one I skipped because it grossed me out when I was eating! I didn't care to hear about gross rotting teeth and gas so bad it cleared a room (I was eating but would I want to hear that any other time? No) I can't say how the end of that one was because I stopped listening. I like Julie Andrews but wish I had not wasted my money on this!
