Judy Moody (Book #1)

“Barbara Rosenblat gives a playful performance of this story about third-grader Judy Moody’s attempt to stay in a good mood for a full week. Rosenblat gives Judy an irrepressible voice as she tries to learn how to avoid her legendary bad moods by studying her compliant classmate, Jessica. Rosenblat accentuates the humor by creating goofy voices for Judy’s friends, who think she’s been taken over by an alien when she straightens her hair and starts wearing pink. Rosenblat’s voice for Judy’s ever present younger brother, Stink, hits just the right scratchy note between irritating and endearing. This funny, fast listen is a great choice for families, whether they’re new to the series or long-standing fans.”
