Bobby in Search of a Birthday
Excerpt from Bobby in Search of a Birthday
He was afraid she really might, and was standing with face pressed against the iron bars of the gate when a man drove up back of him with a buggy jammed as full as it would hold of boys and girls from the Home.

Nem bírtam elaludni, és a LibriVoxon ez a kis cukiság valahogy felkerült a meghallgatós listámra. Egy 5 éves árva kisfiú keresi a születésnapokat, amiket elvesztett. Alapvetően gyermekszemszögből íródott, bár nem E/1.-ben. A gondolkodásmód sokszor Micimackót idézte bennem. Annyira kis zabálnivaló volt az egész. És persze nagyon kis szívet melengető. Bár nem karácsonyi történet, a lelkisége mégis valahogy ezt az érzetet keltette bennem.
A felolvasó Phil Chennevert volt, akit még Eleanor H. Porter könyveinél szerettem meg nagyon. Remekül tud játszani a hangjával, kifejezetten élvezetessé tudta tenni ezt a kis szösszenetet is. Örülök, hogy rátaláltam. :)

I couldn't sleep and on LibriVox I previously added this cute little thing to my ToBeListened list. A 5-year-old orphan looks for "a birthdays that he lost before he knew what it was". Adorable, really. It's not a Christmas story, but the kindness and spirit of it is Christmasy. And the reader is Phil Chennevert who I grew to like during Eleanor H. Porter's books. He does a really good job with his voice which makes this 1 hour even better. I'm really glad I found this story.

This was so adorable, I just loved it. And the Librivox narration was perfect.
A sweet story about loss and love for readers of all ages.

One of those sweet little tales that randomly happens along. (I actually bought it because of its age -- published in 1961.)
