They are so sweet and funny. A window into simpler times, before screens took over childhood. We love Ribsy!

A dark sequel. Not recommended (contains spoiler)

Firstly, my daughter was excited to read this after the first book. Unfortunately, Ragweed is described to be eaten by an owl and have his bones coughed up within the first section of the story, after which we are supposed follow the story of his girlfriend.

Does this sound like a good start to a children's story to you? My daughter was very upset. We stopped it right after this happened, so I can't speak on the rest of the story. This may sound harsh, but shame on you, Avi, for writing this story. You had children invested in the life of your character, Ragweed, and you had him mercilessly devoured in front of your young readers. I don't know which book won you a Newberry award, but our family will not be reading any more of your works.

My daughter and I enjoyed this one, too! It is a bit darker than the first, but it is performed in a way that doesn't feel too heavy for younger listeners. There is still plenty of hope in the story, and interesting characters. Some good Biblical themes for children without being too obvious. Good twists and turns to the plot.
We recommend it along with the first in the series, 'The Dragon and the Stone'. We are on 'Lost in the Caverns' now.

There are some plot holes in this one, like how these creatures go unnoticed in nature. But my daughter likes it. The narration on this one barely varies between male characters, and she ends her sentences in a slightly anxious way. Not my favorite, but still worth a listen.

Meryl Streep's narration is charming. The other characters are lively. My 5 year old daughter is a big fan of this version. I would only comment that Avery along with Charlotte's 'babies' have obviously older voice actors and, because of this, they don't flow well with the other characters. It would also be nice if there were a few more atmospheric noises in the story. But a very nice version overall!

We love it! I might have suggested Michela Luci make her voice just a slight bit older sounding as the story went on, but otherwise nothing but amazing work from them all! So immersive.

Cuts back all of the narrations and lets the story speak for itself beautifully, well done all!

This is a delightful and engaging dramatization, the use of a full cast is wonderful. However, the antagonist needs more depth. The line of 'girls can't fly' gets old and leaves you wanting more insight into his motivations.. it's not a bad thing to show kids that the 1930s were a tense time for women pioneers in aviation, but kids my daughter's age don't care if an adventure story villain resists women's equal opportunity.. that's not exciting. On that note, his quip about the flamingo sister's 'gender normative' pink airplane is supposed to be funny, but it's awkward and it doesn't fit the 1930s feel of the story. This story could have been perfect if the antagonist and his motivations were better developed.
