“Believe, believe, believe.” Not since THE POLAR EXPRESS have we had such an opportunity to believe in the mythological characters of childhood—the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa. With Gerard Doyle’s captivating telling, we do envision Queen Toothiana, E. Aster Bunnymund, and Nicholas St. North through Joyce’s glorious imagination. Doyle makes just the right choices with restrained but distinct character voices—the narrative is never overshadowed by these larger- (or smaller-) than-life creatures. His perceptive timing and emphasis are gifts to the listener. The wordplay is delicious, and the whole audio experience will send families to Joyce’s illustrated books—while keeping Doyle’s narrations as companions. (And the fall animated film RISE OF THE GUARDIANS will bring more fans.) R.F.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
