Since I’ve heard
so much buzz about audio-books, I thought I’d try my hand at reviewing one, and downloaded the Kindle Audible App to my smart phone. I received a DANIEL THE DRAW-ER audio-book as a gift
some time ago, and have finally gotten around to listening to it. What a
surprise! Such a different experience than sitting on the couch with your feet
up, flipping through a book. Relaxing, yes, but not productive. Instead, I plugged
into my phone to ‘listen’ to a book, while getting my housework done. The hours
flew by, and I managed to finish the book in record time! Who knew technology
could help you get rid of your To-Be-Read pile so quickly? Technology rocks!
So what did I
think?
This is 4 Star Fun
for Kids! Narrated by Jay Prichard, I found that he did a great job bringing S.J.
Henderson’s characters to life, and loved the way he created a multitude of
unique voices. A story about love, friendship, and sharing, Henderson pushes
the boundaries of a child’s imagination and mixes in the problems children have
in the real world today. I believe kids will really enjoy listening to Daniel’s
adventures on long car rides or bedtime or even while they’re doing household
chores.
DANIEL THE DRAW-ER Blurb:
"This is no ordinary pencil,” says the cat sitting on the end of nine-year-old Daniel’s bed. "It's magic."
Everything Daniel draws with his pencil--flying dragons, Octobears, and pizza-loving aliens from the planet Beezo--comes to life. It’s pretty awesome until the pencil draws a line between Daniel and his best (and only) friend Annie.
Come along with Daniel and his fantastic creatures on this fun-for-the-whole-family journey as he discovers that friendship is the greatest magic of all.

I listen to audio books in my car. So instead of being frustrated in traffic I'm entertained. "Daniel the Drawer" sounds like a fun audio book to keep kids quiet in the car during a long drive.
