That New Animal

by Emily Jenkins Narrated by Emily Jenkins

Overview

'In a humorous look at adjusting to change, the two family dogs, Marshmallow and FudgeFudge, grumble about how that “new animal,” - a baby - has altered their lives at home. No one wants to play, FudgeFudge has lost her place on the couch, and worst of all is that “new animal” smell. But when Grandpa pays a visit, the dogs are surprised by how loyal to “it” they have suddenly become.

How will two family pets adjust when "that new animal" is welcomed into the household? More poignantly, how might those two dogs tell the story themselves? Emily Jenkins chronicles a baby's settling into the family--from its initial arrival to the protective moments during grandfather's visit to that eventual time when the new animal smells more familiar than strange. Jenkins takes Marshmallow and FudgeFudge's personalities to heart. As FudgeFudge she is ever hopeful that the new animal will go away, and as Marshmallow she is the authoritative voice of dog wisdom. Jenkins also voices irritated grownups and a calm narrator. By the end, it’s clear that the new baby belongs to EVERYONE. A.R. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
