Penderwicks on Gardam Street/ Jeanne Birdsall/ 308 pages

I listened to the 2nd book about the Penderwick family on CD and it was lovely. The voices of the girls are very engaging and help the listener to understand the personality of each. (Okay, you have to hear Batty....she's totally adorable.) By hearing the story, you also appreciate the beautiful writing and language of the book. You will love these books and this family. Highly recommended for all families to share and young readers about grade 4 & up. These would be great for those precocious kids who read on a higher level and need appropriate content.
