Has the usual limitations of having only the audio for a picture book, but even as an adult, I learned a few things that I did not know.

Story5 out of 5 stars 384
Abdi Nor Iftin first fell in love with America from afar. As a child, he learned English by listening to American pop and watching action films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. When US marines landed in Mogadishu to take on the warlords, Abdi cheered the arrival of these Americans, who seemed as heroic as those of the movies. Sporting American clothes and dance moves, he became known around Mogadishu as Abdi American, but when the radical Islamist group al-Shabaab rose to power in 2006, it became dangerous to celebrate Western culture.

Absolutely Incredible Story
Reviewed: 05-14-20
This is such an amazing story from a perspective that I think many Americans are unfortunately not familiar with. Absolute must-read for anyone looking to deepen their worldview. The book’s unique personal connection leads the reader to feel just a tiny bit more human. Absolutely more than worth the price and time spent on this book. As far as a book that truly has the power to affect a person’s understanding of the surrounding world, I can’t imagine a book that does it better.

Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" is a timeless Christmas story beloved by generations of readers. Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean, miserable, bitter old man with no friends. One cold Christmas Eve, three ghosts take him on a scary journey to show him the error of his nasty ways. By visiting his past, present and future, Scrooge learns to love Christmas and the people all around him.

excellent narration

I couldn't have hoped for more. I purchased this to listen to in the car with older children during Christmas travels. Truly an excellent performance, pleasing to the ear and full of appropriate inflection and characterizations.
