Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Scott Wolf delivers a nuanced performance in 'Hate That Cat,' capturing the essence of young Jack's journey through poetry and personal growth. His narration is both comforting and dynamic, perfectly matching the playful yet poignant tone of Sharon Creech's writing. The pacing is just right—slowing down during poignant moments while speeding up during lively classroom interactions. However, some listeners might find the cat’s scenes a bit too cartoonish, detracting slightly from the overall realism. Despite this minor quirk, 'Hate That Cat' remains a delightful listen for both poetry enthusiasts and casual readers alike.
