Reseñas de la Crítica

“For reading enrichment the other day, the girls listened to a set of Treebobs radio plays… and the girls, who already love audiobooks, were thrilled by this one. There are sound effects, and different voices, and music--it's pretty exciting. The imagery is vivid, it's full of action, and each story is relatively short, so you could get through one in less than 20 minutes, if your kid didn't insist on then listening to all the other stories next, like my kids always do.” (Craft Knife Blogspot)

A Very Funny Outcome to a Very Tricky Predicament

What made the experience of listening to The Treebobs Rescue Rotten Rena the most enjoyable?

The children kept interested because they wanted to know how Rotten Rena's problem could be solved. They particularly loved the squabbling between the two witches and thought it was very funny

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Treebobs are lovely but the two witches Rotten Rena and Badlot Barbara "steal the show"

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely

Any additional comments?

It was so absorbing. It would be lovely to have some "Treebob" themed toys. I've already been asked for a flying pip!!! Unfortunately for now it looks like it's down to egg boxes and sticky backed plastic

Fabulous comical and clever

Would you listen to The Treebobs Rescue Rotten Rena again? Why?

Me and my grandchildren could listen to this over and over again its so funny. Badlot Barbara and Rotten Rena being rival witches and the way in which Barbara tricks poor old Rena into drinking the slimming potion is priceless as is the balloon sound effects...this is a hit for now and the future!

What other book might you compare The Treebobs Rescue Rotten Rena to and why?

I can't really compare it...its just all so different a sort of fairy tale with a very modern feel but full of mad cap magic and nutty witches...and of course dippy Rotten Rena who can't get magic right...a sort of worst witch with elves

Have you listened to any of Lindsay Abbott’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Lindsay in the Treebobs and the Runaway Cauldron...she just gets better and better

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Weight watching the Rena Way

Any additional comments?

Its wonderful Declan Harney is to be congratulated in writing something so different that both children and adults love

Brilliant baddies and not too sweet goodies

Would you listen to The Treebobs Rescue Rotten Rena again? Why?

Yes...I am sure the children and me miss some of the nuamces of what Rena says

Who was your favorite character and why?

Definitely Rotten Rena ...because she's threatening and bad......but enough of a buffoon not to be too scary for little ones

What does Lindsay Abbott bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she manages to make the difference between the two witches , makes them 3D

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

a new take on weightwatchers !

Any additional comments?

having heard the story I am now going to get the book so we can see the illustrations ...especially if there's one of Rena covered in egg
