Ellen Tebbits
by Beverly Cleary
Ellen Tebbits was one of Cleary's early books but it has all the charm and insight
into children that Cleary has shown throughout her career. Ellen has a terrible secret
- the worst kind in the world - an underwear secret. And she has no best friend to help
her through the embarrassment of this secret - none until she discovers the new girl Austine
harbors the exact same secret. This begins the perfect friendship - sometimes great, sometimes
rocky, always real. The story is read aloud by Tony winner Andrea Martin. Ms. Martin does
hysterically nasal voices for the catty girls Ellen must deal with at her dance class
and handles the text with charm throughout. With the frequent road trips of summer, this
audio book would be a great summer travel companion for the whole family. |
