Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Barbara Rosenblat delivers an exceptional performance, bringing Nordstrom to life with a mix of warmth and authority. Her nuanced voice conveys the depth of Nordstrom’s influence on children’s literature in a way that feels both personal and professional. The pacing is perfect, allowing each anecdote about classic books to unfold naturally. However, some listeners might find the detailed accounts of editing processes slightly dry at times. Despite this minor quibble, 'Books Good Enough for You' remains an essential listen for anyone interested in the history and future of children's literature.
