Narrative BAD

Story good narrative BAD the narrator ruined the story he read too fast and his voice was too deep

I love this series no matter the narrator

All the books for this series I had only listened to new narrator when I started world according to Humphrey I was like why did the narrator change but soon I got used to him Humphrey is the only book I listen to at night and I never get bored best series ever

narrator change not for the better

Story is good, but the narrator change left a lot to be desired. Not sure why Hal Hollings didn't continue the series but my whole family preferred his narration.

So Good!!

I love these books! I might be to old for them, but I listen to them anyway. These books are so sweet, and the storyline is really really really good!!
I recommend these books, especially for younger kids.
The only reason I said the narrator was 4.0, was because in the first books there was a different narrator, and in my opinion, this narrator is not as good as the last.
I hope you do read these sweet books. And for your kids, these books have no scary parts, nothing unnecessary, and are really good.

I Prefer Previous Narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of Adventure According to Humphrey to be better than the print version?

No offense to William Dufris, but my kids and I listed to the Humphrey books 1-4, and we really got used to the narration by Hal Hollings. We listen to these stories in the car, and they never fail to engage and give us a laugh.

My kids basically wrinkled their noses when starting to listen to this book's narration. We'll have to get used to it, though, because it looks like Betty chose this narrator for all the other Humphrey books. Oh well! Maybe his voices for the women characters get better or maybe we'll just get used to it.

All of the According to Humphrey books are excellent reading. Before we started listening to them in the car, I read them out loud to my two boys - ages 6 and 7. It's refreshing to have such well-written children's books that can appeal to a wide range of kids and not include any foul language or inappropriate or really intense situations. Humphrey books are positive, positive, positive! And we love them all!

Did William Dufris do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, they all sound different, but all the female characters just sound - well - weird. We still haven't gotten used to that. I think he does a decent job with the voice of Humphrey.

I love William Dufris & The story

I love the narration of the story. I love all the Humphrey and Og books.Please write books for Lovey,Jake,and Goldenrod.

Narration is meh

The story is pretty good but the narration is meh. I’m not pleased with the change of the narrators.
