Delightful story. Perfect narration.

Loved the narration. As if listening to a bed time story. A sweet experience. :)

best for car rides with young kids

best for a car ride with young kids. plenty of action to keep their attention

Magical Car Adventure

This is a great little bedtime story of cars, adventure and magic. I enjoyed the narration and story thoroughly.

Great Family Read

The performance by David Tennant is amazing! The story is fun, and different from the classic movie with Dick VanDyke. We thoroughly enjoyed this audio book.

Not even close to the musical movie

Well I have discovered that my favorite movie from childhood is only Very Loosely based on Ian Fleming's book of the same name.

The only thing familiar from the movie I love so much was the car and the kids' names, everything else is different, no grandpa, no Truly, no child catcher or Baron. It was very odd to have it be familiar yet not at the same time.

I’m still trying to get over how different this was than what I was expecting; it is more similar to the Bond stories than the musical movie is. There are crooks and their hideout and trying to get away. This was a fun book but just know it is nothing like the movie of your childhood.

David Tennant's narration was fabulous though, great accents and voices and characters! Tennant’s narration made this book even better.

4 Stars

narration too fast but easily remedied

Playing this at about 85-90x sounded great, faster and it was like a runaway train. The story is a family favorite, (thankfully) bearing little resemblance to the movie. Charming, witty, whimsical - all the good stuff you could want with a side of derring-do.

Excellent narrator for a fantastic book!

David Tennant is an excellent narrator with great pacing and interesting and fun voices for characters. Our whole family enjoyed his rendition of this delightful story.

Perfect for road trips with (or without!) young kids!

This story was wonderful and charming, and had my 8,6 and 5 year olds gripped! They kept asking us if we could please turn it back on every time we got back into the car, and my husband and I were happy to oblige. tenant's performance is just wonderful. We are huge fans of his thanks to dr who and broadchurch — but his performance here was a real treat! I appreciated too that the mother in this story was just as adventurous as the father and two kids. She's voice her concerns, but she was just as game as the rest of them to see what this car could do! I enjoyed the overall message: always choose adventure or else you'll find you've lead a very dull life! Exactly!! My husband and I are considering another roadtrip soon just so we can enjoy the second book in the same epic fashion.

OG Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

My 12 year old son & I enjoyed this book. This is nothing like the Disney movie. The book is 1000 times better which is usually always the case! The narrator is great. He did a good job on all the various characters. Definitely a good listen.

Not like the movie

This is a wonderful book. David is a very good narrator. Four more words done
