Children and adults alike will delight in this heart-warming tale of a precocious girl who discovers, to her dismay, that her parents are about to have a baby. Anastasia's hilarious lists of her likes and dislikes - sprinkled throughout the story - offer a lighthearted counterpoint to poignant moments that reveal the worries and fears of a fourth grader.©1979 Lois Lowry (P)1993 Recorded Books, LLC Family Life Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Social & Life Skills Funny Witty Heartfelt

I’m completely blind, autistic and have a chronic heart condition.
Because I’m blind, when I was little, I had audiobooks on CD.
Well as an adult, I wanted that book again and found it.
It was JUST as good as I remember it when I was little, I loved it.
I don’t want to add any spoilers.

I had this audiobook on CD when I was little

I was unfamiliar with this book & the series but listened to it for a children’s classics read with a book group & really enjoyed it. Apparently it’s banned but I have no idea why. Anastasia is a delight & I will read/listen to the other books in this series.

A fun visit to 80s childhood!

What disappointed you about Anastasia Krupnik?

This one, not the first in the Anastasia series, is sort of an odd choice-- even odder that you can't get the other Anastasia books on tape. It is well read, but the material is fairly peculiar--not quite funny, with a cranky and rather unlikable main character. Lois Lowry is a genius and does everything well, so the writing is fine. But she has much better work, i.e. Goony Bird Green, and those are exceptionally well performed and available as audio books. I'd totally recommend those instead.

Did C. J. Critt do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes all the voicves are distinct and well done

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Anastasia Krupnik?

A few of the things she hates could have been cut. I'm not sure anyone needs to hear quite so much about what a 10 year old girl hates.

Any additional comments?

Still plenty of humor and spark-- just not this author's best work, and at her best she is brilliant.

An odd book, go for Goony Bird Green instead!
