Reseñas de la Crítica

"Christina Moore perfectly captures each voice, and her Rufus demonstrates the great emotional range of a small boy making discoveries as he grows up. Moore conveys an earlier time and language, never losing her listeners. An irresistible treat for listeners of all ages." (AudioFile)

Our whole family loves it

Rufus and his family are very cute and funny. The author knows how to make the scenes come alive. She goes into so much detail, but it's all very entertaining.

Great!

It is an amazing story! I liked it a lot! Most anything I was wondering and any I hadn't thought of (questions) about Rufus were answered and I found it very interesting and have listened to it several times. I hope you will like it just as much! And I recommend listening to the rest of the series as well. I have to write a 50 word book review for my summer reading program. have a wonderful day!

Great conclusion to moffats

The story is so cute and very original! The narrator isn't awesome. She doesn't do a lot of voices.the book is still great though!

It must be good....

It must be good.... my 5yo son has been bugging me all afternoon to let him listen to some more.

Personally, I love the audiobooks that are 2+ hours in length because they give me more bang for my buck. This one fits the bill perfectly.

We loved Rufus M!

Would you consider the audio edition of Rufus M. to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the printed edition.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rufus M.?

Rufus' victories. We thoroughly enjoyed this story. I love how my children can learn about history and supporting the war efforts through this living book.

Any additional comments?

Wonderful family story. My children, 6 and 4, loved it. I loved it and my husband even LOL'd at parts.
