Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fleischman's talent for writing stories from various points of view makes his works particularly appealing in audiobook form. Here, 13 different characters come alive via the distinct performances of a widely varied cast. The range of voices and styles suggests a true community." (Publishers Weekly)

A nice story, relevant for the gardener in all of

us. We all need to feel connected, this story helps to grow relationships in a rundown area.

Such fun

Delightful! I would recommend this to all ages. The individual story were ver good, so enjoyable !

Highly Reccomend

This was truly a fantastic little book. The characters are real, and I find myself in the garden.

What a beautiful book!

I loved this book! I especially loved the narration with all of the different characters! This is a "feel good " book.

Earth Day Gift

Would you consider the audio edition of Seedfolks to be better than the print version?

Yes, the voices in their different accents make this delightful.

What did you like best about this story?

It is realistic, but focuses on hopefulness. I real pick-me-up. Not just for children at all.

Any additional comments?

I started listening on the way to the metro, not realizing until I was greeted with a packet of seeds from the Dept. of Agriculture that today was Earth Day! What a super story to listen to on Earth Day. It makes you want to see the best in all living things - people as well as plants, and maybe find your better self as well.

Nice book

Very nice book to listen together with kids when driving. Simple but nice story with great voices and accents.

Great lessons in a fun read

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it was a great book on empathy and reminding myself not to label, judge, etc.. as fast as I probably unconsciously do.

Any additional comments?

In teaching my 3 year old twins how to plant a garden I unexpectedly found this book and while not quite age appropriate I do look forward to introducing it to them when they get a little older

I loved this book

There is so much truth to it. As people, we can be united in so many ways. It is the simple things that mean so much and bring people together.

Seedfolks

I have been a member of Audiobooks for some time now and in all this time this is my first written review. This book is really good.

It was a great book

This was one of,the best books I ever read. I really liked it because you got to learn about planting and working with the community.
