THE TRANSMOGRIFICATION OF ROSCOE WIZZLE

What happens when you have too much of a good thing? For Roscoe Wizzle, the chance to eat Jungle Drum burgers at Gussy's restaurant beats his parents' nightly fare, and he suffers some unusual consequences. But with the help of his best friend, Kinshasa, and the woman inside the Gussy Gorilla suit, the results are satisfying. David Krumhholtz takes pleasure in narrating this story. He is light at times and intimate at others. Words are exaggerated, and insect voices are stretched out. He is indignant or intense as kids in Roseville disappear, bad pennies return to town, and parents learn to change. A.R. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
