Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker's daughter. Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn't feeling so well and can't possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she's made for the duchess to wear that very evening. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that's brewing - quite an errand for a little girl. But where there's a will, there's a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows.

Didn’t Love the Narration

We love Kevin Henkes and all the Penny books but I didn’t love Cynthia Nixon’s narration. She speaks very very slowly and for some reason her voice for a little mouse sounds like a nasally old lady?!? It’s weird and sullen.
