THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE

Miriam Margolyes is able to tackle any characterization with complete sincerity. She does so here, bringing to life three farm animals (Cow, Wooly, and Ratty) on the run. The animals know they're in danger of going for a one-way journey "on the truck" and decide that they'll take their destinies into their own hands. They meet up with danger and several strangers, both friend and foe, while trying desperately to find a new, safe home. Margolyes's depictions will satisfy any small listeners, entrancing them with tales of courage, bravery, and friendship. E.J.F. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
