Audio Reviews:
"Cooney's winning, warm way will please the whole family on this delightful
recording. Her discussion of the inspiration behind these two fine books makes
for fascinating listening for all."

Review, Publishers Weekly "This lovely production should touch
the hearts of listeners especially young girls who too often see their dreams
as unattainable."
-School Library Journal "Both stories reflect Cooney's
interest in independent women and are marked by her descriptive storytelling style.
If you can't be there with your grandchildren, send Barbara Cooney to read her
books for you."
-AudioFile Book Review:
"There are many biographies of Eleanor Roosevelt, but this one is
special."

Review, Booklist
SYNOPSIS:
Barbara Cooney records her
own books for the first time ever in this award-winning duo - two unforgettable
stories about turn-of-the-century girlhoods. Before recording each story, Cooney
talks about why she wrote the books, and her many memories woven through her mother's
story - Hattie and the Wild Waves. See also AB's recording of Island
Boy and Miss Rumphius read by Tracy
