About this listen

Meet Anna Von Ogre, a delightful monstrosity. When Anna’s attempt to gross out the family backfires, she finds herself stuck with a face of such beauty that even the neighbors are repulsed. How the sickeningly adorable, rosy-cheeked little girl finds her inner ugly again is the subject of a hilarious fable for the ages.

this is an incredibly short work and I wouldn't spend a credit on it but it is priced rather cheap. I think this is worth the money value of what I spent. it got a chuckle out of me when I was feeling sad and that was less than I spent on my morning coffee. to me it's worth it, to others it might not be.

short... but I still liked it

Bad story line
Was not aware that $4 purchase was for a 3 minute story
I would pull this from publication

Waste of money and potential devaluation of Mr sedaris’ works

I am thankful that I didn't spend a credit on this. I cannot find the illustrations if there's more than just the one on the front of the book it's not at all what I expected and I love David Sedaris.

So short/one illustration?

This is exactly what I imagined a children’s book written by David Sedaris would be - engaging, humorous, and a bit odd. Loved it.

Engaging little story

So not for audiobooks and I adore Sadaris. It’s just for reading for kids . Total disappointment. And not worth a whole credit

How short it was

Bought on the strength of my love of the author”s past work. Don’t bother. This is a stupid short kid’s book that lasts one minute. I wasted a credit on this useless recording. Don’t you do that.

Stupid Short Waste

This story is so short! I don’t know why it’s being offered as an audio “book “.

No bang for the buck

So nice to have something from David Sedaris again. Please write more! Your books brighten my day!

Pretty Great

I like that you’re making a $1.32, I dislike having a fifteen word minimum to say so.

Not much to go on!
