Audio Reviews:

"Time of Wonder makes a nimble leap to audio thanks to McClockey's gloriously poetic language and Lord's deft reading. Her warm voice strikes just the right note of reverential delight...althogether marvelous."
                     Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

For any child who's spent time at the seashore, Tracy Lord's animated narration of this story would instantly bring all the sights, sounds and fun right into the room."
                     -Maine in Print

"McCloskey's poetic language and the pictures he brings to mind make this a brilliant choice for audio. This is a family treasure to share."
                     -Children's Book Review

"This recording may be useful in creative writing classes - even as a starting point for the ever-popular 'how I spent my summer vacation' assignment."

SYNOPSIS:

Robert McCloskey's timeless paean to a Maine island summer is as fresh today as when it was published in 1957. Island images abound, the alliteration is brilliant and very obvious when listening without illustrations to "distract" from the sounds so carefully chosen by the author. The pace is slow and relaxed, with narrator Tracy Lord pulling every nuance of sight and sound from the award-winning book.
