The book is better than the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the movie. Haley Mills makes a wonderful Pollyanna. But there are so many powerful things in the book that they fail to capture in the movie. For instance:
I don’t like how they present Aunt Polly. In the movie they make her the enemy of the whole town whereas in the book, she is still a prominent figure but she has many friends and she is NOT the enemy of the entire town.
Also, I don’t like the way they show the love affair between Polly Harrington and Thomas Chilton
Okay,I’m done ranting about the movie.
This book is one of my favorite books. This is a must read. Pollyanna is a wonderful little girl who makes a big impact on the town. And I think we should all play the Glad Game!
If you enjoyed Pollyanna, you should definitely check out the sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up. It is a very good end to the story.

Jack London’s adventurous nature, intuitive feeling for animal life, and superb storytelling skills give his tales a striking vitality and force. Thrilling action and a sense of justice characterize the classic stories in this collection.

Jack London is an amazing author. I can’t recommend it enough. I can’t find words to describe how much I love his books. White Fang is my personal favorite but the call of the wild is amazing as well. John Lee is an amazing narrator with the perfect voice for these books. This is a must read.

This book is even better then Freckles!
Revisado: 12-09-23
I liked this book more then Freckles but I think that reading Freckles is helpful for context. Now don’t think that I’m trying to downplay Freckles, that book is also very good. I loved the narrator she did a wonderful job. Elnora is a good example of what a woman should be like. And you should always make sure that what you’re doing is good and right before you go ahead and do it. I definitely recommend this book.

P G Wodehouse is perfect for when you are in the dumps! Whenever I’m feeling particularly stressed or anxious I turn on Wodehouse.
This book has all the good old characters: Wooster, Jeeves, Madeleine Bassett, Gussie Finknottle, and Aunt Dahlia. And Jonathan Cecil is the perfect narrator for the Jeeves books.

Historia
It's Future Job Day at Sam's school, and Sam knows exactly what he wants to be when he grows up-a zookeeper, just like Zookeeper Jake in his favorite picture book. His mother and big sister, Anastasia, help Sam create a memorable costume-so memorable that Sam insists on wearing it long after Future Job Day has passed and the rest of his classmates are back in their regular clothes.

This is a really cute book for younger children. My 7 year old brother adores this book. Me as a 13 year old not quite as much but it is still a good book. Bryan Kennedy does a wonderful job narrating.

Can you imagine writing to Father Christmas and actually getting a reply? Every year, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien would write to Father Christmas, and the letters they received told wonderful stories of his adventures at the North Pole. These humorous tales are brought to life by Derek Jacobi as Father Christmas, John Moffatt as Polar Bear, and Christian Rodska as Ilbereth the Elf, complete with specially composed music.

I would definitely recommend this book. I loved listening to it. The only thing was that the music was a little bit repetitive but it didn’t bother me to much. The various readers were wonderful and did a very good job. If you get past the music you will love this book a lot.
