E. ASTER BUNNYMUND AND THE WARRIOR EGGS AT THE EARTH'S CORE

The characters in Joyce’s book learn that “magic’s real power is in believing.” Listeners will need no magic to believe. Joyce’s well-crafted fantasy soars, and the lyrical language blossoms with Gerard Doyle’s excellent narration. There’s much at stake for the children of Earth, whose dreams are threatened by the evil Pitch, the deliverer of nightmares. In this second book in the series, E. Aster Bunnymund’s wisdom and talent, along with his nontraditional eggs, are called upon to help banish Pitch. Doyle’s intimate, genuine delivery helps listeners experience the importance of storytelling and friendship. An even cadence; clear, distinctive vocal characterizations; and deft changes in pacing help listeners easily follow along. J.K.R.
