Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Glenn Hascall delivers a performance that is as delicate as the story itself. His soothing voice, which perfectly suits the narrative, allows listeners to fully immerse themselves in the journey of the ugly duckling. The pacing is just right, with pauses and intonations that enhance the emotional arcs of the characters. However, there are moments where the pacing could be more varied to better reflect the changing emotions of the protagonist. Despite this minor critique, Hascall’s rendition remains a standout. The audiobook's length makes it a perfect quick listen for bedtime stories or a tranquil way to unwind. It’s a must-have for any collection of children’s audio tales.
