The second "Grumpy" I listen to it, with the funny narrator and a beautiful story about nature and animals, like the first. A children's book with a message of stop, the littering.

Mr. Squirrel finds a treasure and is very happy about it. But, this isn't a treasure, a plastic. Mr. Squirrel, Grumpy, and green Parrot try to protect themselves from the trash. And this cute, short story is about them who helping humans and keep the park clean.

Thanks to Netgalley, I have given an honest review of Mr. Squirrel Finds A Treasure (a Grumpy the Iguana and Green Parrot Adventure Book 2) by Susan Chapman, Narrated by Trevor Gobel.

Such a sweet children's book that give the important message of putting our rubbish in the bin to protect our wildlife. A children's book that send a positve message always appeals to me.

The voices in this audio book were great and will definelty engage younger readers (or listeners)

Thank you to Netgalley and IBPA for my gifted copy of this audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"Wait! Do you even know what you have there? It is called plastic, and it is dangerous to all animals."

I wish more of us heeded those words. I was reminded of Naomi Shihab Nye's Cast Away: Poems for our time. One day we will have to deal with our rubbish problem. We may delay the reckoning until the rocks and stones cry out and the animals create word art in the park for patrons and media to find. Too many of us, when told of (environmental and other) danger, simply insist, "Don't be silly."

I listened to the audio version through NetGalley. Each primary character had a distinct (if caricatured) voice. Some of the phrasing was unnatural. There were also some good emotional notes communicated through the voice.

This is the second "Grumpy-book" I am reading... well... listening, read by Trevor Goble. (He is just great, again!)
I love these little creatures, being very polite and helping out each other, and the message of the book is strong, timely and important. Yet, I find the story unnatural and somewhat forced. It gives us opportunity to discuss issues like environment, pollution, friendship and speaking up, which is good, but I expected a lighter and more funny approach - this is a children's book after all.

I thank NetGalley, Susan Chapman and IBPA for this Advance Reading Copy.
