Audio Book Review:
I really enjoyed this audiobook. Mac Barnett has a friendly and easy way of telling stories that makes it feel like you are listening to a friend talk about books, kids, and imagination. He shares funny and meaningful experiences he has had with children during school visits and story times, and those moments really show how creative and honest kids can be. I liked hearing how the children reacted to the stories in unexpected ways and how those experiences shaped his thoughts about writing.
I especially liked the parts where he talked about Margaret Wise Brown and her approach to children’s books. You could really tell he admired her creativity and the way she understood how children think and experience stories. Those sections added a lot of warmth and personality to the audiobook and helped show why he cares so deeply about storytelling for kids.
The audiobook is funny, thoughtful, and very easy to listen to. His narration feels natural and sincere, which makes the stories even more enjoyable. The ending slowly brings all of his ideas together and leaves you thinking about how important books and imagination can be in people’s lives. Overall, this was a warm, meaningful, and comforting listen that I would definitely recommend.
Big thank you to #NetGalley, #HachetteAudio, #LittleBrown&Company , and author/narrator #MacBarnett for allowing me to listen to the audiobook copy of Make Believe, in exchange for my honest thoughts. All opinions are my own.
