Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

Oh, how Betty Bunny comes to love the taste of chocolate cake! She can think of nothing else--certainly not the fact that she will need to eat a healthy dinner before she can have a piece or that a piece of cake may not fare well during the school day tucked in her pocket. Katherine Kellgren's elegant voice may be a bit out of place amid the rough give-and-take of the bunny family, but she uses it to heighten the drama and individualize the characters. As Betty, she sounds imperious and prone to tantrums; as Betty's older brother, mocking; and as Betty's mother, authoritative. Kellgren draws out important phrases: "I can't belie-e-e-ve you put cake in your pocket." A.R. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
