Audio Reviews:

"David Skigen proves inventive in dealing with the rather daunting range of creatures whose words he must speak - the perils and pleasures of Newberry come alive thanks to Skigen's energetic telling; my children loved it."
                     -Carl Little, Republican Journal

"Energetically read by David Skigen with just the right tone, Newberry is amusing, engaging and important."
                     -Booklist

SYNOPSIS:

Newberry is a clam with a sore neck. When the local doctor prescribes a purple muffler for the pain, Newberry takes it all in stride and what follows makes for some very funny listening. From starfish to sandpiper, barnacle to cricket, the whole crew of shorelife is brought to life. Definitely a great way to learn - and laugh at the same time. Author/Scientist Vincent Dethier was famous for his research and publications in the field of zoology.
