Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this book for children. Dinky's Quest: The Journey Begins by Marta Moran Bishop is a fascinating story about a small unfortunate foal which was taken away from his mother in the first hours of his birth. In her book, talented Marta Moran Bishop tells the real story of her life through the eyes of a foal.

Thoughts and emotions of Dinky, described by Marta's words are amazing in their simplicity and originality. I am absolutely sure that if Dinky could speak he would not have said it better than Marta. Listening to Dinky, I understood that Marta is very unusual and extraordinary woman who like no other can understand the thoughts and feelings of horses. Moreover, she can speak horse!

After going through all the torments of hell, miserable little Dinky finally finds his home and family in the faces of Marta, Ken, Chrome and Connella. Dinky, Chrome and Connella created their own small herd.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dinky's Quest: The Journey Begins?

When he finally finds his new home and family. It makes him happy.

Have you listened to any of Debra Oranzi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I listened to her performance in Wee Three. I love Debra's performance, it fits well with the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this audio book to my friends and family. It is so cute, so innocent and makes you feel happy. Marta takes you to clean and innoccent world there everything is funny and positive. Talented writer put the best of her soul and experience in her wonderful poems.

Author's poems describe the children's world, full of observations and discoveries in the field of animal, insect and plant life. Funny poems tell of worms, bees, clever cats, dogs and the phenomena of nature, such as rain and rainbow.

Marta Moran Bishop's poetry gives a unique opportunity to see the world through the eyes of an innoccent child. I am convinced that in Marta still lives a little inquisitive girl who is interested in everything.

I really enjoyed this audio book. It reminded me of my own childhood when I was just starting to explore the world and it was so amazing!

Innocence and Wonder is uniquely designed for children, but it will also bring joy and pleasure to adults. Adults will have a unique opportunity to take a fabulous time machine and travel back to many years ago in their carefree and wonderful childhood.
