About this listen

One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from.

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are orphans. Can they find a home where they can stay together as a family?

Good, but voices took away from the experience.

Great story for the kids to listen to. we watched the movie after listening to the book. I took off stars because I didn't care for the voices.

Oh to be a child again

The story is engaging and easy to follow along with a book. The fun the kids had makes me want to be a kid again. The children in the story have good values and I would rather my kids emulate their behavior.

This audio book took me back to a great time in my youth and I was able to share it with my grandchildren. So, now it can be a childhood favorite of theirs too.

The whole family loved it

My kids are 5 and 8 and it was just enough mystery and drama that they could handle without any distress. Benny's voice made us laugh, and the narrator did an excellent job.

Great story, but yeah bad narration

I am so happy that my recently turned 6 boy actually listened to a book longer than 10 minutes! He was enraptured by it! I enjoyed listening to the story with him, but not so much the narration. Her portrayal of Benny was weirdly gravelly and screechy and just in general her loud sharp voice gave me a bit of a headache if I didn’t keep the sound down ( I had to fight with the kids over that... ). But still, I would recommend it for young children, they certainly didn’t mind the narration and thankfully some of the other books in the series have a different narrator, so I will definitely be buying more.
