From the Publisher

Colfer—an actor most famous for playing a countertenor teenager on Glee—is a wizard at voices. In ‘Henny Penny,’ he gives distinct, birdlike cadences to a duck, a goose, hen, rooster, and a turkey. His yawn from ‘Goldilocks’ was convincing enough to make me yawn in the driver’s seat.”
