FRANK EINSTEIN AND THE BIO-ACTION GIZMO Frank Einstein, Book 5

This humorous audio addition to the Frank Einstein series is narrated by author Jon Scieszka and illustrator Brian Biggs. This short narration opens up with Scieszka's onomatopoeic "Smash! Crack!" as a thunderstorm sends AI entities Clink and Clank, voiced by Biggs, into a fearful frenzy. Clink and Clank's offbeat electronic communication systems sound slightly human but are clearly mechanical. Throughout the story, Scieszka and Biggs skillfully introduce a variety of characters while continuously playing to their intended audience by paying special attention to pronunciation, reading speed, and clarity. Though created with younger listeners in mind, this endearing story is sure to amuse those of all ages. V.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2018]
