Ellen Tebbits

This book was GREAT!!! A true Beverly Cleary original. I noticed several motifs from some of her other works. I’ll continue to listen to more of her books. Ellen is kind, imaginative, and a very good friend. However, Austene is my favorite. She’s very outgoing and has a pure heart. Fantastic work Ms. Cleary, and great work audible!

Love it

Otis is so funny! And Ellen is silly to! I love it! They are silly!

A Childhood Favorite

I listened to this book to see why I liked it so much as a child. I can see that Ellen and I had much of the same luck and experiences, so I must have felt a connection to her. Narrator was a good Ellen and Otis. Austine and the rest of the characters sounded like 40 yo men with colds. As much as I hate to criticize, those voices were awful. But overall I enjoyed the story.

A cute book

I liked this story, but the narration was distracting.

The voice was completely unsuitable --did not have a childlike quality. Sounded harsh, overly emphatic, and lacked freshness.

Too bad, a nice little story.
