Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was struck by the anonymous narrator's subtle restraint in bringing Dahl's tale to life. They never overpower the story, instead allowing the penguin's endearing struggles to take center stage. The pacing is expertly handled, with a natural flow that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. One minor quibble: the sound effects, while tasteful, occasionally feel a tad overdone – the penguin's 'excited chatter' is particularly jarring. Still, it's a minor complaint in what's otherwise a superb, expertly crafted listen. Overall, I'd highly recommend Penguin Says 'Please' to anyone looking for a quick, feel-good listen with a valuable lesson.
