From the Publisher

Mixing a child-like tone with seriousness, Critt amuses the listener with her portrayal of a ten-year-old girl who is clearly wise beyond her years. Anastasia’s continually changing list of likes and dislikes and her fascination with warts sound even funnier in an earnest-sounding voice. With all silliness aside, Critt voices Anastasia’s maturity as she discusses the meaning of poetry with her father and the effects of age on her grandmother. This program will have wide appeal due to its humor and realistic approach to situations kids experience while growing up. M.P.T. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine
